Through the Eyes of Ariel Bibas’ 5-Year-Old Best Friend

Through the Eyes of Ariel Bibas’ 5-Year-Old Best Friend

Young Yoav wrote letters to his best friend, Ariel Bibas, telling him how much he missed him and couldn’t wait for him to come back to Kindergarten.

He’d buy him some sweets and a Batman cape.


Yoav’s mom recalled, “Each time he asked me if Ariel and Kfir had a playground there in Gaza and if they were allowed to play in the sand and run outside, like on the kibbutz.”

Tomorrow, a quiet funeral will take place for these precious children and their loving mother Shiri. May we keep faith with their memories.

Am Yisrael Chai.
