Israelis hold balloons as they attend the first birthday celebration for Kfir Bibas, the youngest hostage to be kidnapped by Hamas militants on the October 7 attack together with his mother and brother, in Tel Aviv on January 18, 2024. Kfir Bibas was born on January 18 and -- if still alive -- would be celebrating his first birthday. In November, Hamas broadcast a video announcing the death of the baby, his brother and mother, but there has been no confirmation from Israeli officials, and relatives are still clinging to the hope that they are not dead.,Image: 838383902, License: Rights-managed, Restrictions: , Model Release: no
