Tomorrow, Israel will face one of its darkest days. The remains of Shiri Silberman Bibas and her two young sons, Ariel and Kfir, along with Oded Lifshitz, will be returned to their homeland. After months of hoping, praying, and pleading for their safe return, we now prepare to welcome them back in grief and honor.

This devastating reality is yet another reminder of the horrors inflicted upon innocent families. The Bibas family’s abduction on October 7th shook the nation to its core. Now, as their remains come home draped in Israeli flags, we stand together in mourning, resilience, and unwavering determination.

As Israel prepares for this heartbreaking homecoming, Zaka Tel-Aviv is on the frontlines—ensuring the fallen are treated with the dignity they deserve. 

At this painful moment, we ask you to stand with us. Your contribution enables Zaka Tel-Aviv to continue its vital work—recovering victims with respect, assisting families in their darkest hours, and ensuring that no one is left behind.

Israel mourns, but Israel will never break. We hold the memories of the Bibas family and all victims of terror in our hearts. We vow to honor them with action, compassion, and unwavering strength.

Your support ensures we can continue our critical mission, standing alongside Israel’s defenders and civilians in their time of need.
