Horrifying new video shows missing Israeli father of 'Hamas's youngest hostage' ... trends now
Horrifying new video footage has shown the missing Israeli father of 'Hamas's youngest hostage' covered in blood and being beaten by a crowd of Palestinians while cheering terrorists drive him away on a motorbike on October 7.
Yarden Bibas, the father of 10-month-old Kfir Bibas, is seen in the video covered in his own blood as the mob rains punches down on him - and also pose for selfies.
The video was shared on social media by Israeli president Isaac Herzog, who wrote: 'The world must not remain silent in the face of such crimes. Bring them home now!'
Baby Kfir and his four-year-old brother Ariel were kidnapped alongside their mother and Yarden's wife Shiri by Hamas terrorists during their assault into Israel last year.
Yarden is reported to have surrendered himself to the gunmen in the hope that they would take him and spare his wife and children. Yarden is thought to be be alive in Gaza, but the fate of his family is unclear.

The Bibas family, father Yarden, mother Shiri, baby Kfir and four-year-old Ariel, were taken captive by Hamas terrorists on October 7, 2023 from Kibbutz Nir Oz
Hamas and Islamic Jihad, militant groups backed by Iran, carried out the cross-border terror attack on October 7, killing 1,200 people and kidnapping 250 others.
Israel responded with an offensive in Gaza that has caused widespread devastation and killed over 33,900 people, according to local health officials.
Since October 7, some hostages have been released by Hamas in exchange for Palestinian prisoners held by Israel. Some have also died in captivity.
Several hostages remain alive in Gaza, although the true figure is a mystery.
Israel says it believes around 130 remain in the coastal enclave.
In November, the al-Qassam Brigades - Hamas's military wing - claimed that Kfir, Ariel and Shiri had been killed in an Israeli airstrike.
These claims were never verified, and their fate remains unknown.
It was believed that the mother and her two children had been taken into Khan Younis by a Palestinian group separate from Hamas, possibly the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.
Israel later attacked Khan Younis in its mission to wipe out Hamas.
Nili Margalit, a hostage who spent 50 days in Hamas captivity before being released, revealed that she was with Yarden when Hamas told him his family had been killed.
They then ordered him to film a video in which he lay the blame for their bodies not returning to Israel at the feet of the country's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have since said that the claims made by Hamas regarding the fate of Shiri and her sons has not been verified.
The IDF described the claim as 'psychological terror.'
In a second video filmed with another camera, Yarden is seen again. It appears he is now covered in blood, suggesting the second clip is actually from before the first

Yarden Bibas is pictured on October 7 during his capture by Hamas in a picture that emerged before the latest video of him. He is bleeding from a head wound and has blood on his hands. His family members have not heard from him since
Now, Yarden has been seen again - this time in footage filmed on October 7.
He is seen sitting on the back of a motorcycle being driven by a man presumed to be a Hamas terrorist. Another man sits behind him, sandwiching him in.
The motorbike has come to a shop, and an angry mop of men are seen trying to reach the father - some succeeding - raining blows down on his head.
The two men sitting on the bike with Yarden and a couple of others standing next to it angrily attempt to protect him from the onslaught, shouting at the mob.
Yarden's head and hands, meanwhile, are seen covered in blood.

The videos are the latest to show a member of the Bibas family on October 7.
Back in February the IDF released footage from inside the Gaza Strip that showed Hamas terrorists taking Kfir, Ariel and Shiri to a home in Khan Younis.
Grainy footage, released by the IDF with permission of the family and shared with MailOnline, showed a group the IDF identifies as Hamas members taking a woman out of a parked white car as she holds a young child or baby.

Another shot shows Hamas terrorists directing the woman, who the IDF says is Shiri, toward a series of buildings and throwing a blanket or a shawl over her head.
While only one child could be seen in the video, IDF spokesperson Daniel Hagari said that Israel believes Kfir was attached to his mother's body in a baby carrier.
MailOnline was unable to verify this claim.
Hagari added that the army was 'very concerned' about the family's well being, adding that the army found the videos in cameras seized during its Gaza offensive.
In a statement, the extended Bibas family said the videos 'tear our hearts out.'
They made a desperate plea for negotiations to release all of the hostages. In January, the family and hundreds of activists marked Kfir's first birthday in what his family
