Orange-hued tombstone unveiled for Shiri Bibas and her sons Ariel and Kfir

A joint gravestone has been placed for murdered hostages Shiri Bibas and her two young sons, Ariel and baby Kfir, a month after they were buried together in southern Israel following the return of their remains from Gaza.

In a nod to the color of their hair, which became a sign of support for the family, the tomb stone is orange-hued and includes the names and nicknames of the mother and her sons, along with epitaphs.

“It was you who made living all worth while, oh lovin’ you it’s the best,” reads an inscription in English.
