The father of the youngest hostages taken on October 7 will be released tomorrow to Israel, Hamas said, without offering an update about his missing children and wife.
Yarden Bibas is the father of Baby Kfir, only nine months old when he was abducted, and Ariel, who was four at the time of the attack.
There was no word about the fate of KFIR and Ariel, or on their mother Shiri, who was taken at the same time. Hamas said at the end of 2023 that they were killed by Israeli bombing.
He will be released together with two others, including a double American citizen in the next exchange of hostages for Palestinian prisoners.
Keith Siegel and Outer Kalderon will be transferred on Saturday, Hamas said armed wing spokesman Abu Obeida in a post on his telegram canal.

Israeli-American Keith Siegel, who was held hostage with his wife Aviva, was seen last year in a video that Hamas released.
His wife was released in November 2023 in the first hostage-for-prisoner exchange.
Orer Kalderon's two children Erez and Sahar, abducted next to him, were also released in the first exchange.
