The funeral for Shiri Bibas and her two sons, Kfir and Ariel, will take place on Wednesday in Israel. A private ceremony is planned near their hometown of Nir Oz, following a public funeral procession. Hamas handed over Shiri's body on Friday, a day after the remains of her children. There was a mix-up with the initial transfer, causing outrage in Israel. The Israeli army confirmed the children were murdered by their captors in November 2023. Hamas claimed they died in an Israeli airstrike. The family became symbols of the October 7 attacks that led to the Gaza war.
