Thousands mourn Bibas family killed in Gaza

Thousands of Israelis attended the funeral of Shiri Bibas and her two sons, Ariel and Kfir, who were killed in Gaza. The family was honored with public eulogies and a procession, reflecting widespread grief across the nation. The Bibas family had hoped for the return of their loved ones until DNA tests confirmed their deaths. Confusion over the remains during the handover process raised tensions, leading to a postponement of a planned prisoner release by Israel. Mediators later resolved the crisis, allowing for the return of more hostages. The Bibas family criticized officials for not respecting their wishes regarding the release of information about the circumstances of their deaths.
