Crowds line the streets as the funeral procession of slain hostage Itzik Elgarat makes its way from Rishon Lezion to Kibbutz Nir Oz.
Elgarat was abducted by terrorists from Kibbutz Nir Oz on Oct. 7, 2023.
His body was transferred to Israel by Hamas last week under the hostage-ceasefire deal.
He is survived by two children, a brother and two sisters.
