TL;DR

Former hostage Yarden Bibas joined U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee in a tree-planting ceremony honoring his wife Shiri and their sons Ariel and Kfir, who were murdered by Hamas while held captive in Gaza.

01 · THE DISPATCH

Yarden Bibas, a former hostage released from Hamas captivity, and U.S. Ambassador Mike Huckabee planted trees on Saturday in memory of Bibas's wife Shiri and their two young sons, Ariel and Kfir, who were murdered while held hostage by Hamas in Gaza. The event was documented by photographer Ayal Margolin/Flash90.

As The Zioneer reported on Thursday, Huckabee attended a separate memorial event at Moshav HaYogev, where a tree was also planted in honor of the Bibas family. The family's murder in captivity has become a national symbol of the atrocities committed by Hamas, and a rallying point for Israeli society and the broader Jewish world.
