Hamas writes disturbing message on Shiri Bibas' coffin, switches her sons' names
The body of Shiri Bibas, 33, was returned alongside those of her little sons Ariel and Kfir, as well as another hostage – Oded Lifshitz, 84.
Hamas reportedly left a sick message on the coffin of Shiri Bibas, one of the four Israeli hostages whose bodies they returned. The body of Shiri, 33, was returned alongside those of her little sons – Ariel, who was kidnapped when he was four, and Kfir, who was abducted when he was nine months old. Also handed over was the coffin of Oded Lifshitz, 84.
The coffins of the two adults had a sign on them to indicate their “date of arrest” — Oct. 7, 2023 – the day they were abducted by Hamas. Israeli media reported that the coffin that carried Shiri was marked with the words, “Arrested on October 7,” the date signifying the day hundreds were killed when Hamas attacked Israel. The bodies of Kfir and Ariel were reportedly also placed in wrong coffins, with their names switched.
Hamas’ sickening public display
Hamas carried out a horrifying parade while handing over the bodies of the four Israeli hostages. The terror organisation blamed Israel and the US for the hostages’ deaths, with the coffins being displayed on stage in Khan Younis in front of a mural depicting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as a vampire, with blood dripping from his fangs. Two missiles with English text were placed next to the coffins. “They were killed by USA bombs,” the text read. A photo of the Bibas family and Lifshitz was also shown in a pool of blood.
Heartbreaking footage had captured the moment Shiri and her sons were abducted by Hamas. In the video, Shiri appeared visibly distressed and frightened as she clutched her children while being taken away by terrorists.
Shiri and her family had been hiding in their home’s safe room when armed fighters broke into their house in a village near the Gaza border. They were eventually abducted. After the news of their deaths surfaced, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to “settle the score with the vile murderers.”
