Hostage survivor Yarden Bibas addressed the elimination of one of the terrorists who participated in his kidnapping, and conveyed through the Hostages and Missing Families Forum that “a small part of my closure happened today. Thank you to the IDF forces, Shin Bet and everyone who took part in eliminating one of the terrorists who kidnapped me on October 7. Because of you, he will not be able to harm anyone else.” Yarden added: “Please take care of yourselves, heroes. I am waiting for closure with the return of my friends David and Ariel, and the remaining 48 male and female hostages.”
