Radical Salafi organization operated independently in Gaza for over two decades; faction falsely claims Bibas family was killed in Israeli airstrike, though intel confirms execution while in captivity
ed note–this is one of those ‘toughies’ in which it is hard to tell WHICH religiously-commanded lie being told by the Judah-ites is the most believable.
On the one hand, it makes sense that the Bibas children were murdered by the IDF, as were other hostages, in what was a year-long campaign of indiscriminate carpet bombing of areas known to be heavily populated with civilians.
On the other hand however, it is entirely possible that indeed the hostages were murdered by this shadowy and ‘independent’ group operating in Gaza known as ‘Al Mujahedeen’, but who were/are in fact Israeli operatives known as the Mista’arvim, who are ethnically Arab Jews, who pass as Palestinian Muslims and are in effect spies, saboteurs and assassins working for Mossad.
As with all crimes, the obvious question that must be asked and rationally answered is ‘who benefits’ from the crime itself, and in this particular case, the question answers itself viz who benefits from the narrative that the children were murdered by crazed, ‘Islamic’ terrorists using their ‘bare hands’.
Now, the other question that must be asked is as follows–
Would Jraculates such as Netanyahu, Smotrich, Ben Gvir and others who believe that they have been personally ‘chosen’ by the violent deity that they worship, ‘yahweh’, to usher in WWIII/Armageddon, order those Mistaarvim spies, saboteurs and assassins to bare-handedly murder Jews taken hostage in Gaza in order to further a narrative that must exist in order to bring about that same WWIII/Armageddon which they believe they have been ‘chosen’ to unleash?
As the ditzy, one-time candidate for VPOTUS Sarah Palin used to say often during her unsuccessful campaign in 2008 whenever she wanted to make her point as strongly as possible–
‘You betcha’

The extremist Salafi organization Al-Mujahedeen (Lords of the Wilderness) is the group that held Shiri Bibas and her two young children, Ariel and Kfir, after they were abducted from Kibbutz Nir Oz during the Hamas-led October 7 attack. According to Israeli assessments, the group murdered them in captivity as early as November 2023.
‘Al-Mujahedeen’ was founded at the start of the Second Intifada in 2001 after breaking away from Fatah. It initially operated as a faction of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades before becoming an independent militant group. The organization follows a radical Salafi ideology, which seeks to return to what it considers the fundamental roots of Islam, advocating extreme measures to achieve its goals.
The group was initially led by Omar Abu-Sharia, whom Israel attempted to eliminate in 2006 and who succumbed to his injuries six months later. Over the years, Al-Mujahedeen has carried out numerous attacks and has positioned itself as a violent extremist faction within Gaza. Unlike Hamas, which governs the enclave, Al-Mujahedeen maintains a distinct identity, often aligning with global jihadist movements.
During the ongoing war in Gaza, the organization claimed to have suffered significant losses, including key members of its leadership. In April 2023, it announced the deaths of several senior operatives, including the commander of its rocket unit in central Gaza, a senior figure in the Deir al-Balah battalion, and a member of its elite unit in the same area.
After the October 7 attack, Hamas transferred some hostages to smaller armed factions, including Al-Mujahedeen. Shiri Bibas and her children were among those handed over. According to Israeli intelligence, they were held in Khan Younis before being murdered. The group falsely claimed that the Bibas family was killed in an Israeli airstrike, but IDF officials have confirmed that the children were brutally executed in captivity.
Al-Mujahedeen’s actions underscore the fragmentation of militant groups within Gaza and the brutality faced by hostages held by factions beyond Hamas itself. Israeli authorities continue to demand the return of Shiri Bibas’ body, along with all remaining hostages.
