Freed hostage mourns family killed in Gaza attack

Yarden Bibas, a freed Israeli hostage, expressed deep sorrow at the funeral of his wife Shiri and two sons, Kfir and Ariel, who were killed in Gaza. He apologized for not being able to protect them during the October 2023 attack. Bibas delivered an emotional eulogy, recalling their last decision to fight against the militants. He shared memories of his family, describing them as his "perfect family" and expressed love for his wife and sons. Hamas claimed an Israeli airstrike killed the Bibas family, but an Israeli autopsy found no evidence of bombing injuries. The family had become symbols of Israel's hostage crisis since their abduction.
