Thousands mourn Bibas family killed in Gaza

Thousands of Israelis attended the funeral of Ariel, Kfir, and Shiri Bibas, who were killed while held hostage in Gaza. The family’s deaths have sparked national grief and criticism of the Israeli government’s handling of the hostage situation. The Bibas family was buried in Tzohar, near their home. Their father, Yarden, was released earlier this month and learned of their deaths afterward. The family condemned the government for publicizing graphic details of the children's deaths. Reports indicate a new deal has been reached to resume the ceasefire with Hamas, involving the exchange of bodies for Palestinian prisoners. This follows tensions over previous hostage releases and accusations of violations from both sides.
