Israel mourns mother and her two sons killed in Gaza

Tens of thousands of Israelis mourned a mother and her two young sons, killed in Gaza captivity, as their bodies were taken for burial. The Bibas family's tragedy has become a symbol of national grief following the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack. The boys, Kfir and Ariel, were abducted during the attack. Forensic evidence indicates they were killed by their captors in November, while Hamas claims they died in an Israeli airstrike. Their remains were returned earlier this month as part of a ceasefire deal. The family will be buried near Kibbutz Nir Oz, alongside Shiri's parents, who also died in the attack. The public displayed solidarity, with many dressed in orange and Batman costumes, honoring the boys' memory during the procession.
