A message to Shiri Bibas, whose body has finally been returned to Israel.

We have you, Shiri, you’re home. Your babies are home. Yarden is home. Now you can rest.

You fought like a lioness to save your babies. No mother can match your strength, your love, your bravery. You will be remembered in the annals of our people along with Sarah, Rifka, Leah and Rachel. Miriam, Devorah, Esther…and Shiri.

Hold your sons for us, sing to them as they sleep. Tell them we tried, our sons fought like lions to find you. Rest, Shiri, rest. Nothing and no one will ever harm you or your babies again.

The land will hold you close and your memories will be forever blessed. We are so sorry…

May God and the IDF avenge your blood and that of Ariel and Kfir.
