Family and friends of Shiri Bibas, who was kidnapped on Oct. 7, 2023 and murdered in Hamas captivity, marked what would have been her 34th birthday on Wednesday with an emotional tribute on an Instagram page dedicated to her memory.

“Our Shiri was supposed to celebrate her 34th birthday today. Shiri, we see you every time we close our eyes—we remember you smiling, dancing, laughing. You meant everything to us … an incredible mother, a loving sister and daughter, a once-in-a-lifetime friend and Yarden’s whole world,” the post read.
