What happened to the Bibas children?
Earlier today, Yarden Bibas buried his wife, his 4-year-old son Ariel, and his 8-month-old son Kfir in Israel. Since October 7, 2023, when the family was brutally abducted from their home, the world had wondered what had happened to the two little red-haired boys and their mother. Now we know. Thousands of people in Israel took to the streets to salute the hearse and say goodbye today. My reflection:
There has been many homages to the Bibas family, but this one hit me particularly hard—perhaps because Ariel and Kfir had about the same age difference as my two little boys:
I will have a further reflection on the ongoing hostage crisis in general and the Bibas family in particular coming out in The European Conservative soon.
As a mother, my heart is shattered and I ache for this family. I cannot fathom Mr. Bibas loss, especially in such a horrific and public way. Thank you for sharing this.
