The ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas has left an indelible mark on Israeli Jews, who each feel a personal connection to one of the hostages taken by Hamas.

Kfir Bibas, a one-year-old Israeli boy, is celebrating his birthday in captivity in Gaza after being abducted by Hamas along with his family.

Hundreds of people gathered in Hostages Square in Tel Aviv to mark the first birthday of Israeli hostage Kfir Bibas, who was abducted along with his family by Hamas in October.

Israel is investigating Hamas' claim that Shiri Bibas and her two sons, Ariel (4 years old) and Kfir (10 months old), who were taken hostage in Gaza, have been killed.

Two brothers, Kfir and Ariel Bibas, are still being held hostage in Gaza, while most other child hostages have been returned to Israel.
