Shiri Bibas Murdered in Gaza Captivity — Report

Hamas on Friday night handed over Shiri’s body to the Red Cross, which in turn delivered the corpse to Israel for identification. 

“With pain and deep sorrow, Kibbutz Nir Oz announces the murder of Shiri Bibas, may her memory be a blessing, who was kidnapped from her home,” according to a statement from the community.

“Following the identification process at the Institute of Forensic Medicine [in Tel Aviv], we received this morning the news we had dreaded—our Shiri was murdered in captivity and has now returned home to her sons, husband, sister and all her family for rest.

“Despite our fears about their fate, we continued to hope that we would get to embrace them, and now we are in pain and heartbroken,” continued the statement. “For 16 months we sought certainty, and now that it’s here, it brings no comfort, though we hope it marks the beginning of closure.”

On Oct. 7, 2023, Gazan terrorists stormed Nir Oz. They breached the Bibas family home’s door using a drill and other equipment and entered the safe room where the four were hiding. Father Yarden reported the attack to his wider family in real-time, texting that “it feels like the end.”

He attempted to defend the family with his personal weapon but was overwhelmed. In photos, he can be seen being abducted on a motorcycle between two terrorists, wounded and bleeding from his head.

The video of Shiri’s kidnapping—terrified and trying to protect her two children with her arms as she was surrounded by masked men with weapons—became a symbol of the Oct. 7 massacre. Shiri’s parents, Yossi and Margit Silberman, were murdered that day.

Yarden Bibas was freed on Feb. 1 after 484 days in Hamas captivity.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Friday morning eulogized the slain hostages and vowed to hold Palestinian terrorists accountable.

“The cruelty of the Hamas monsters knows no bounds. Not only did they kidnap the father, Yarden Bibas, the young mother, Shiri, and their two small babies. In an unspeakably cynical manner, they did not return Shiri to her little children, the little angels, and they put the body of a Gazan woman in a coffin,” said Netanyahu in a video message to the nation.

“We will work resolutely to bring Shiri home together with all our abductees—both living and dead—and ensure that Hamas pays the full price for this cruel and evil violation of the [ceasefire] agreement,” he added.

Hamas leader Oct 24, 2023: We will do 10/7 again and again!

Hamas leader Ghazi Hamad openly vows to violate any future cease-fire and repeat the October 7 massacre over and over until Israel is wiped off the map and Jews disappear.

“We must teach Israel a lesson, and we will do this again and again. The Al-Aqsa Flood is just the first time. There will be a second, a third, a fourth, because we have the determination and the capabilities to fight.

Will we pay a price? Yes – and we are ready to pay it.”

This is what Israel is dealing with. This is the “peace partner” the world wants Israel to negotiate with!
