Kibbutz Nir Oz releases a statement saying that resident Shiri Bibas was murdered in Gaza after being kidnapped with her young sons Ariel and Kfir during the Hamas-led October 7, 2023, terror onslaught.
There is no immediate response from Israeli authorities to the announcement, which comes after a body that Hamas claims is Bibas was brought to Israel for identification.
Bibas was supposed to be returned Thursday alongside the remains of her sons and fellow Nir Oz resident Oded Lifshitz, all three of whom authorities have said were murdered in captivity.
