The body identified as Shiri Bibas, who was kidnapped alongside her children on October 7, 2023, was returned by Hamas, with the kibbutz announcing her murder. The community expressed profound grief over her death. Bibas' two sons, ages 10 months and 4 years, were also mentioned, having been handed back along with a journalist. Despite previous claims from Hamas regarding Bibas' remains, Israel determined the earlier body was a Palestinian woman, prompting military officials to denounce it as a violation of the ceasefire agreement.
Kibbutz Nir Oz announces with deep pain and sorrow the murder of Shiri Bibas, of blessed memory, who was abducted from her home on October 7 and killed in captivity in Gaza.
On Thursday, Hamas handed over the remains of 10-month-old Kfir Bibas and his 4-year-old brother Ariel, along with the 83-year-old journalist Oded Lifshitz.
The Israeli military called this a "very serious violation" of the Gaza ceasefire deal currently in place.
