Knesset lights up in special honor of Bibas family

The Knesset held a special lighting in honor of Ariel Bibas, an infant who's being held hostage in Gaza along with his similarly infant brother, Kfir:

The Knesset building was illuminated in orange on Monday evening, as a sign of solidarity with Ariel Bibas, who is being held captive in Gaza and whose fifth birthday was on Monday.

At the request of the Bibas family, the Knesset was lit in orange, matching the color of Ariel’s hair.

Little Ariel is being held captive by Hamas along with his mother Shiri and his little brother Kfir. His father Yarden is believed to be held in a separate location from the rest of the family. They were all kidnapped from Kibbutz Nir Oz on October 7.

Also on Monday, thousands of people, including relatives, friends, and ordinary Israelis, gathered in Tel Aviv to mark the fifth birthday of Ariel.

We have to hope they're alive, and that the military will be able to find them and punish the jihadists who kidnapped them.
