Following the deeply emotional funeral of Shiri, Ariel, and Kfir Bibas, which moved the hearts of many, journalist and comedian Hanoch Daum shared a special tribute that took place during the ceremony on his Instagram account.

"Something small that Yarden Bibas wanted to share with the public (he asked me to do so on his behalf): Every time a rock song played on the car radio, Ariel would make the signature rock gesture together with his father, Yarden. During the funeral yesterday, Yarden and his nephew Alon, the son of Dana, Shiri's sister, shared a small moment dedicated to Ariel," Daum wrote.

This tribute adds to Yarden Bibas' eulogy, which left no eye dry last night. In his speech, he spoke about his children, saying: "Ariel, I hope you're not angry at me that I couldn't protect you properly and that I wasn't there for you. I hope you know that I thought about you every day and every minute. I hope you're enjoying heaven, and I'm sure you're making all the angels laugh," Yarden wept.

To Ariel's younger son Kfir, he said: "I didn't think our family could be more perfect, and then you came and made it even more perfect. I remember your birth. I remember that after Shiri had gone into labor, the midwife suddenly stopped everything, and we got scared, afraid that something had happened, but it was only to tell us that we had another redhead. Mom and I laughed and were happy."
