The coffin of slain hostage Itzik Elgarat arrives at Kibbutz Nir Oz ahead of his funeral.
Crowds lined the route as the convoy made its way from Rishon Lezion to the Gaza border community.
The funeral ceremony will be held outside the home of Elgarat, from which he was kidnapped during the terror onslaught on October 7, 2023.
One in four of Kibbutz Nir Oz’s residents were killed or kidnapped on that day.
