Yarden Bibas mourns family killed by Hamas in Gaza
Yarden Bibas delivered an emotional eulogy at the funeral for his wife, Shiri, and their two children, Ariel and Kfir, who were killed by Hamas in Gaza. He expressed deep love and sorrow, recalling cherished memories and his regret for not being able to protect them. The Bibas family was buried together in a single casket at Kibbutz Nir Oz. Thousands of Israelis attended the funeral, wearing orange in remembrance. The Knesset also honored the family with a moment of silence and was illuminated in orange. Hamas initially claimed the family was killed by Israeli bombardments, but forensic evidence confirmed they were murdered by terrorists. Yarden was released from captivity on February 1 as part of a ceasefire agreement.
