Benches engraved with an elephant motif reminiscent of little Kfir's favorite stuffed animal were installed in the Safari grounds, donated by the Friends and Lovers of Israel associations in Germany

"Ariel was a playful and loving child, with a smile that instantly melted everyone he met. Close your eyes and think of that smile"

Survivors of captivity spoke to the "60 Minutes" TV program, with Yarden Bibas saying the terrorists told him he would get a new and better wife and kids after they were murdered

'When they smash children and kill them, nothing has happened for them, since these are the sons of infidels,' he asserted

Yarden Bibas, who was recently released from Hamas captivity after nearly 500 days, eulogized the fresh graves of his wife and kids: 'Shiri, please stay by my side and don't go far away'

A small ceremony will be held, with the family saying they 'don’t have sufficient words to express our appreciation for all that you have given us at this time'

Handing over the remains of an unidentified person represents a shocking violation of the ceasefire terms by the Palestinian jihadists of Hamas

Hamas has blamed Israel for the deaths of the captives, despite being responsible for the abduction of Oded Lifshitz (83), as well as Shiri, Kfir, and Ariel Bibas – the youngest captives

The list does not allay growing Israeli fears over the fate of Bibas's wife Shiri and the couple's young children

Hamas was supposed to release civilian hostage Arbel Yehud on Saturday; instead, four female soldiers were freed in a blatant violation of the ceasefire agreement

According to the draft agreement for a ceasefire, 33 hostages will return in the first stage, including children, women, soldiers, those over 50, and sick men

Gantz responded affirmatively when asked if Israel knows the fate of Shiri, Yarden, Ariel, and Kfir Bibas, though he refrained from providing specific details at this time

IDF spokesman 'horrified' by image of Shiri Bibas clutching her children while being taken away by terrorists in Gaza

"They claimed they transferred the family to another group, playing with their lives like pawns. The hostages, upon release, are traumatized"
