TL;DR

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) claimed that Hamas has transferred its youngest hostage, a 10-month-old baby named Kfir Bibas, to the custody of another Palestinian group in Khan Yunis. The IDF believes that the baby is being used as leverage in negotiations between Hamas and Israel regarding the extension of the current ceasefire agreement. The city of Khan Yunis is expected to be a target for renewed bombardment once the ceasefire ends. The family of the baby, who were also kidnapped, is believed to be held by the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. Israel maintains that Hamas remains responsible for all hostages, even if they have been passed off to other groups.
