Part 2/11:
According to reports from The Wall Street Journal, Hamas built a stage featuring coffins of the victims—Sheri Bibus, a 33-year-old mother, and her sons Ariel and Cfer, aged just four years and nine months at the time of their abduction, along with Oded Lius, an 83-year-old peace activist. The scene was marred by inflammatory banners, including a bloody depiction of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu portrayed as a vampire, with a caption accusing him of killing the victims with missiles and warplanes. The coffins bore photographs of each victim with the dates of their kidnapping, alongside a commanding banner warning that "The return of the war equals the return of your prisoners in coffins," and signs expressing enduring hatred and unforgiveness.
