Yarden Bibas returned from Gaza, but his wife Shiri and two sons, four-year-old son Ariel and baby Kfir (ages as of Oct 7) are still unaccounted for in Gaza.
This is a case where he left Shir and the kids at home to go out and fight the terrorists, was taken Prisoner of War (POW), and separately his wife and children were also taken as POWs.
While in prison, Gazans taunted him by saying his wife and children were dead.
Videos posted by the Gazans have shown him taken POW with blood streaming down his face, and his frantic wife being taken hostage with their boys in her arms wrapped in a blanket.
Former MK/Kibbutz Be’eri resident Haim Jelin phrased it well, describing the impossible horror facing Yarden, who is “…returning not to the warm embrace of his nuclear family, but to a reality so awful that…’the soul cannot absorb it.'”
Pray for our work in a troubled land. Consider sending support.
