Israel mourns mother and sons killed as Gaza hostages

Israel held a funeral for Shiri Bibas and her two sons, Kfir and Ariel, who were killed while held hostage in Gaza. Their bodies were returned earlier this month as part of a ceasefire deal. Tens of thousands of Israelis mourned along the route to the burial site, with many dressed in orange, a symbol of their fight for the hostages. The family’s story has resonated deeply in Israel since their abduction during the October 7 attack by Hamas. Yarden Bibas, the husband and father, expressed his grief during the eulogy, reflecting on his family's last moments together. He and other family members called for accountability regarding the circumstances of their deaths.
