Thousands of Israelis gathered in Tel Aviv to mourn four hostages whose bodies were recently returned by Hamas.
The handover, which took place in Gaza, included the remains of Shiri Bibas and her two children, sparking national grief and condemnation.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu criticized Hamas, referring to them as “monsters” for the public display of the deceased during the handover.
Netanyahu’s comments were echoed by various political figures, further intensifying the public outrage.
The return of the hostages’ bodies, particularly those of children, has become a focal point in the broader conflict between Israel and Hamas.
The Israeli public and the families of the hostages continue to seek justice and accountability, as the situation remains a point of tension in the Middle East.
