Kfir and Ariel Bibas were last seen on 7 October with their mother Shiri 's hands around them, holding onto her boys surrounded by gunmen and violence, trying to protect them.

The two brothers became the greatest symbol of the hostage nightmare Israelis are enduring.

In Israel and abroad, people across social media posted images of broken orange hearts to represent the boys.

"There is no forgiveness for abandoning them on October 7 and no forgiveness for abandoning them in captivity. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu , we did not receive an apology from you in this painful moment. For Ariel and Kfir 's sake, and for Yarden 's sake, we are not seeking revenge right now. We are asking for Shiri ." Yarden Bibas , who was only recently released as a hostage, must now bury his two young boys, with his wife Shiri still not returned by Hamas . In Israel they are quoting words that painfully resonate: "The smallest coffins are the heaviest.".
