A little boy held hostage turns five in captivity

Last week saw the fifth birthday of Ariel Bibas, one of two small children still held as hostages by militants in Gaza. 

Amidst heightened tensions in the region, hundreds of Israelis gathered in Hostage Square in Tel Aviv to marked Ariel's birthday and to advocate for this little boy and his family. In Gaza, 115 hostages continue to be held by Hamas and their collaborators.

In this circle of prayer, we hold the Bibas children and their parents close to our hearts and continue to stand in steadfast prayer for the safe release of each and every hostage.

Read a letter to Ariel from his Grandmother, shared as an Open Letter and published in the Daily Mail.

And light a candle for Ariel.
