Only Mr. Lifshitz\u2019s body had been positively identified.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Yarden Bibas, Ms. Bibas\u2019s husband and the children\u2019s father, was abducted separately during the Oct. 7 assault, bleeding from a head wound. He was <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/02\/01\/world\/middleeast\/israel-hamas-hostages-gaza.html\" title=\"\">released<\/a> alive this month as part of the cease-fire between Israel and Hamas that came into effect in January.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But the fate of the rest of his family has tormented Israelis, underscoring what many here view as the cruelty of Hamas. <\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cDear citizens of Israel, on this day we are all united in grief that is too heavy to bear,\u201d Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Thursday, in a somber message to an aching nation. \u201cToday, every home in Israel bows its head.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">A month after the war set off by the Hamas attack began, the group\u2019s armed wing, the Qassam Brigades, claimed that Ms. Bibas and her two children had been killed in an Israeli airstrike. Fears grew in Israel when they were not among the other captive mothers and children released during a weeklong cease-fire that month.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But the Israeli authorities had not confirmed their deaths, let alone the circumstances, saying only that there was \u201cgrave concern\u201d over the hostages\u2019 fates.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Relatives held out hope until the very end.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">After Hamas announced on Tuesday that it would release the Bibases\u2019 remains, the family expressed anger over the early eulogizing in the news media of Ms. Bibas and the children before Israel had even determined that they had been killed. \u201c<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Should we receive devastating news, it must come through the proper official channels after all identification procedures are completed,\u201d the family said in a statement on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The Israeli government did not immediately provide details of the cause of Mr. Lifshitz\u2019s death, but said he had been \u201cmurdered in captivity\u201d by Islamic Jihad, a smaller Palestinian armed group that has been holding a number of hostages.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-5\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Hamas turned over the bodies as part of a series of negotiated exchanges in the first phase of the cease-fire agreement. In recent weeks it has released 19 living Israeli hostages.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The agreement provides for the release of 33 Israeli hostages in exchange for more than 1,500 Palestinian imprisoned in Israel during the first phase, which, barring an extension, is set to expire in early March.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The Israeli government said last month that Hamas had provided a list indicating that 25 of the 33 hostages were alive and that eight had been killed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Roughly 1,200 people were killed in the Hamas-led 2023 attack and more than 250 abducted, according to Israel. Nir Oz was one of the hardest-hit communities, with about a quarter of its 400 residents either killed or taken hostage. Kfir was the youngest to be seized.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-6\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The attack prompted Israel to declare war on Hamas and invade Gaza in a 15-month military campaign that has killed tens of thousands of Palestinian civilians and combatants and left much of the coastal enclave in ruins.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">On Thursday, groups of Israelis stood in the rain and held silent vigils along the route as coffins bearing the hostages\u2019 remains were transferred from Gaza to the National Center of Forensic Medicine in Tel Aviv.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-7\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Eylon Keshet, Mr. Bibas\u2019s cousin, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2023\/11\/22\/world\/middleeast\/gaza-israel-child-hostages-families.html\" title=\"\">described<\/a> Ariel in November 2023 as a boy who loved being the center of attention and playing with toy tractors and cars. Kfir, he said, was a \u201cchill\u201d baby who was just beginning to eat solid food.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The Hostage Families Forum, an organization advocating for the hostages and their families, described Ms. Bibas in a statement as \u201ca dedicated mother and accountant, known for her boundless kindness.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThey weren\u2019t
