Hi,
“I am thinking about Shiri”, said Atzva when we woke up in the Dead Sea hotel we slept in, when I asked how is she. I did not have much to say or ask, I just cradled her in quiet.
Today Shiri and her two kids we buried, by Yarden Bibas, Shiri husband and the kids father. Israel had finally received Shiri body, after a wrong body was delivered on Thursday. it might have been a mistake that Hamas had delivered the body of a unrecognized Gaza woman. That it was only reviled only after a DNA test, but one cannot think it is another cruel spin of Hamas terror organization).
I was thinking Elyasaf Ezra’s post on Facebook, about Shiri being an Iam. When she woke up to a morning of hell on October 7th, alone in her home. When Hamas terrorists are aiming a loaded rifle in her face, she did not forget her baby pacifier, and to tie a blanket around her kids because it is cold.
A woman that she is a child of two parents, that were also been murdered that day. That her dog was killed and her husband kidnapped as well (he came home safe in the 2nd hostage deal).
In the memory of the red headed mother and kids, building were lighted up in orange across Israel and the world. Tens of thousands have bed farewell along the cross the coffins were traveled. As well as a man in a batman costume (Ariel favorite character) with an orange balloon in his hand.
But all of it could not the hard true – How she and her kids were kidnapped from their home to Gaza strip, and were murdered with bare hands couple of months later.
Take Care
Gad
