Message from the Bibas family after forensics identified Shiri Bibas body:
”Tonight, our Shiri has returned home. After the identification process at the Institute of Forensic Medicine, this morning we received the news we feared the most.
Our Shiri was murdered in captivity and has now returned home to her sons, husband, sister, and all her family to rest. Despite our fears for their fate, we kept hoping we would get to hug them again, and now we are broken and grieving.
For 16 months, we sought certainty, and now that we have it, there is no comfort in it, but we hope for the beginning of a closure.
Shiri was a wonderful mother to Ariel and Kfir, a loving partner to Yarden, a devoted sister and aunt, and an amazing friend. In this difficult time, we continue to demand the immediate return of all the remaining hostages. Nothing is more important than that. There will be no healing without them.
The details of the funeral and shiv'ah will be published in due course. Please give the family the space to process and mourn. Thank you all for your support and love during these past 16 months.
We only wish Shiri had lived to see it."
