Thousands mourn Bibas family during emotional funeral

Thousands of Israelis mourned the Bibas family during their funeral on Wednesday. Shiri Bibas and her two young sons, Kfir and Ariel, were killed while held captive in Gaza. Their bodies were returned as part of a hostage exchange deal. The funerals took place as Hamas released four more dead hostages in exchange for hundreds of Palestinian prisoners. Israel had delayed the release of these prisoners, citing concerns over the treatment of hostages during handovers. The Bibas family has become a symbol of loss in Israel since the October 7 attack. Their story has resonated nationally, with many attending the funeral dressed in orange, the family's chosen color for their cause.
