Shiri Bibas

Shiri is a strong mother who does everything for her children. She is the heart and the foundation of the family.
Of all the unspeakably brutal moments of Saturday 7 October, the horrific scene of the terrified Israeli mother, Shiri Bibas, clutching her two young sons to her chest as Hamas terrorists kidnapped them, is perhaps one of the most indelibly etched in the world's memory.
Shiri, her husband Yarden and their two beautiful redheaded boys, four-year-old Ariel and nine-month-old Kfir, were all taken from their home in Kibbutz Nir-Oz.
Shiri's parents were murdered by Hamas terrorists in their home on the kibbutz.
Ofri Bibas, Shiri’s sister-in-law, said that she wants to believe that the refusal to release her family during the first temporary cease-fire agreement in November 2023 is part of Hamas’s psychological warfare. “We don’t know where they are being held or by which organization. From what we know, they are kept underground somewhere in Gaza,” said Ofri, sister of Yarden Bibas.
Ofri called upon the Israeli government, Qatar and Egypt, “everybody who is involved in this negotiation and this deal,” to do everything in their power to include the Bibas family in the upcoming deal, and for them to be freed as soon as possible. “It’s time for them to be released,” she said.
