Murdered hostage Shlomo Mantzur is set to be buried today in his home community of Kibbutz Kissufim, from which he was kidnapped on Oct. 7, 2023.
A procession will set out from Rishon Lezion at 9:45 a.m. and head south to the kibbutz.
The family invites Israelis to stand along the roadside with flags to accompany Mantzur.
The procession will pass Yad Mordechai Junction around 10:45 a.m., Sa’ad Junction at 11 a.m., and Gama Junction and Kissufim Junction around 11:15 a.m.
The funeral will begin at 12:30 p.m. in Kibbutz Kissufim.
Authorities said last month that Mantzur was killed in the October 7, 2023, Hamas onslaught and his body taken captive. His body was released on Thursday.
