Mother and sons buried together after Gaza killings
Shiri Bibas and her two sons, Ariel and Kfir, were buried together in a single casket during a funeral attended by hundreds. They were killed in Gaza after being taken hostage during the October 7 terrorist attack. Yarden Bibas, Shiri's husband, expressed his grief at the funeral, stating it was the closest he had been to his family since the attack. He lamented his inability to protect them. Hamas released the bodies of the boys last week, with Shiri's body returned the following day. Israeli officials stated the boys were killed by Hamas, not in an airstrike, leading to international outrage and a halt in prisoner exchanges.
