The Academy of the Hebrew Languages has announced that it has changed the Hebrew name of the spotted orange butterfly in honor of murdered Israeli hostage Ariel Bibas, 4.
The name was changed from Kitmit Yerushalayim (Orange Yerushalayim) to Kitmit Ariel (Orange Ariel) in memory of Ariel, who was killed by Palestinian terrorists along with his mother and nine-month old brother shortly after the family was abducted from their homes in southern Israel during the Hamas-led massacre on Oct. 7, 2023.
The Hebrew word Ariel is one of the 70 names of Yerushalayim.
