STORYLINE:
Hundreds of mourners attended the funeral on Wednesday of one of the six hostages whose body was recovered by the Israeli military in Gaza.
Yagev Buchshtab, 35, was kidnapped from Kibbutz Nirim on Oct. 7 along with his wife, Rimon Buchshtab-Kirsht.
Rimon was released during a November ceasefire deal after 50 days in captivity.
Buchshtab’s grandmother and wife also laid flowers at his grave and cried.
The military said in a statement Tuesday that its forces recovered Buchshtab’s body along with those of five other hostages in an overnight operation in southern Gaza.
It identified the other hostages as Alexander Dancyg, Avraham Munder, Yoram Metzger, Nadav Popplewell, and Haim Perry, without saying when or how they died.
Buchshtab’s and Dancyg’s deaths had already been announced at the end of July, based on intelligence.
Hamas is still believed to be holding around 110 hostages captured in the Oct. 7 attack that killed 1,200.
Israeli authorities estimate around a third of them are dead.
The death toll from Israel’s retaliatory offensive has reached more than 40,000 Palestinians and has displaced the vast majority of Gaza’s 2.3 million residents, often multiple times.
