'We love you and miss you': Bibas family remembers Ariel on his sixth birthday

"The family shared a post on Instagram to mark his birthday: “Ariel was a mischievous child full of love with a smile that immediately melted everyone he met,” the post read." Then Hamas....

The two boys were four years old and nine months old, respectively, at the time of their abduction on October 7, 2023.
"The IDF confirmed through intelligence and forensic evidence from the identification process that the two children were brutally murdered in captivity by Hamas in November 2023, just a month after their abduction, and were not killed by an IAF strike, as Hamas originally claimed.
"Kfir Bibas was murdered at 10 months old. Ariel was murdered at four years old.
"Their bodies were returned to Israel along with hostage Oded Lifshitz, after 503 days in Hamas captivity in February. 
"Shiri’s body was returned two days later, after Hamas misidentified her remains, sending another woman’s body in a locked coffin with keys that did not match, according to extensive testing by the L. Greenberg Institute of Forensic Medicine at Abu Kabir." . . .
