Hamas delivered bodies of Israeli hostages — including Bibas toddlers — in locked coffins without a key in final sickening insult

Hamas barbarians handed over the bodies of four dead Israeli hostages, including the two Bibas toddlers, in locked coffins without a key — in a final sickening insult after they were paraded before a crowd through the streets of Gaza, according to reports.

The terror group handed over the bodies of the Kfir Bibas, the youngest Israeli hostage who was just 9-months old when he was abducted, along with his brother, Ariel, who was taken when he was just 4, their mother, Shiri, 33, and Oded Lifshitz, 84.

The Israeli Defense Force had to ensure that the caskets were not armed with booby-traps after they were handed over in locked caskets without a key to open them, sources told The Times of Israel.

The bodies were then transferred to new coffins, draped in Israeli flags, and transported to the Abu Kabir forensic institute in Tel Aviv.

Officials said it could take up to 48-hours to officially identify the dead, according to the outlet.
