Thousands of Israelis gather to pay their last respects to Shiri Bibas and her two sons, Ariel and Kfir, who were killed while being held hostage in Gaza. The funeral procession was accompanied by public eulogies and televised coverage, with crowds watching on large screens in Tel Aviv's Hostages' Square. The youngest of the hostages, nine-month-old Kfir, and his four-year-old brother Ariel, became symbols of the struggle to bring the hostages home. Yarden Bibas, Shiri's husband, was released by Hamas earlier this month without his immediate family, causing deep anguish in Israel.
