This resolution pays tribute to Shiri Bibas, her two young sons Ariel and Kfir Bibas, and Oded Lifshitz, Israeli citizens who were tragically killed while being held captive by Hamas during the October 7, 2023 terrorist attack. The resolution provides details about the victims, noting that Shiri Bibas was 32 years old when abducted from Kibbutz Nir Oz along with Ariel (age 4) and Kfir (9 months old), while Oded Lifshitz was 83 years old when taken captive. The document emphasizes the unspeakable cruelty of their deaths and expresses deep sympathy for their families, highlighting that these losses are felt not just by the victims' loved ones and the people of Israel, but by all who stand against terrorism and violence. The resolution specifically notes that Yarden Bibas (Shiri's husband) was released on February 1, 2025, and Yocheved Lifshitz (Oded's wife) was released on October 24, 2023. By unanimously adopting this resolution, the Texas House of Representatives aims to honor the memory of these innocent victims and affirm solidarity with the Israeli people in the face of terrorist threats.
