Residents of Karmei Gat, where displaced members of Kibbutz Nir Oz are staying as their homes are rebuilt, stood in the rain for a moment of silence as Hamas handed over the remains of four slain hostages to the Red Cross.
Holding Israeli flags and wearing yellow in solidarity, they honored Shiri Bibas, her young sons Ariel and Kfir, and Oded Lifshitz—kidnapped from Kibbutz Nir Oz on October 7, 2023.
In Tel Aviv, crowds gathered in Hostages Square, standing beneath Israeli flags adorned with yellow ribbons, a symbol of the captives. The nation mourns yet another tragic loss.
