Mere hours before the holy day of Yom Kippur started, and after immersing himself in a mikveh, Netanel Shakron was shot and killed by a Palestinian terrorist who was later captured alive at a Ramallah hospital by IDF special forces.

Freed hostage Eli Sharabi delivered a heartfelt eulogy for his brother Yossi, whose body was returned by Hamas in the recent deal, calling him a devoted family man and saying he was laid to rest among a community that will forever love and miss him.

Thousands of Israeli mourners gathered to express their grief and solidarity, joining the funeral procession for the Bibas family, who were tragically murdered by Hamas after being taken captive on October 7th.
