Militants also abducted his wife, Shiri, and their two children, Ariel, 4, and Kfir, who was 9 months old at the time, from their home in Kibbutz Nir Oz.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">Hamas later said Ms. Bibas and the two children had been killed in an Israeli airstrike. Israeli officials have not publicly confirmed the claim but have warned that they are gravely concerned for their fates.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">A video of Ms. Bibas being marched through the kibbutz by a Hamas militant with her two children on Oct. 7, 2023, captured her terror. They were imprisoned separately from Mr. Bibas. In November 2023, Hamas posted a video showing him being told that they had died in captivity.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">The Bibas family has struggled with not <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/10\/07\/world\/middleeast\/october-7-hostages.html\" title=\"\">knowing whether their loved ones are alive<\/a>. The last time any of them received proof of life for Mr. Bibas was when images that showed him bleeding from the head circulated online. <\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">Ofri Bibas-Levy, Mr. Bibas\u2019s sister who has been advocating a cease-fire and hostage deal, said she was grateful for the attention of the news media and world leaders. But the haunting images of Shiri and her children have turned them into symbols of the crisis and generated a degree of public fascination about their fate that was sometimes rattling, she said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">\u201cPeople attach their names to any new story that pops up, even if it is made up,\u201d she said at a gathering of relatives of hostages near the residence of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel in Jerusalem to renew calls for an urgent deal to bring them home. \u201cAnd every time that happens, it shakes our whole world.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"live-blog-post-content css-19v2tje eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-11174dd3\">Ofer Kalderon<\/h2>\n<div data-testid=\"imageblock-wrapper\">\n<figure class=\"img-sz-medium css-d754w4 e1g7ppur0\" aria-label=\"media\" role=\"group\"><figcaption data-testid=\"photoviewer-children-caption\" class=\"css-gbc9ki ewdxa0s0\"><span class=\"css-jevhma e13ogyst0\">Ofer Kalderon before he was handed over to the Red Cross.<\/span><span class=\"css-14fe1uy e1z0qqy90\"><span class=\"css-1ly73wi e1tej78p0\">Credit&#8230;<\/span><span><span aria-hidden=\"false\">Saher Alghorra for The New York Times<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\"><a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.timesofisrael.com\/taken-captive-ofer-calderon-initially-escaped-through-window\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Mr. Kalderon, a French Israeli<\/a> who was 52 at the time of the Hamas attack, was captured with two of his four children, Erez and Sahar, 12 and 16 at the time. They had fled from their shelter in Kibbutz Nir Oz in southern Israel into nearby fields, according to Israeli media. The children were released in the November 2023 cease-fire deal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">In October of 2024, more than a year after Mr. Kalderon was taken hostage, his cousin Ifat Kalderon was part of a group of relatives of hostages who issued a <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/10\/19\/world\/middleeast\/israeli-hostages-netanyahu-gaza-ceasefire.html\" title=\"\">sharply worded televised statement<\/a> to Mr. Netanyahu.
