People are standing along Route 232 in the Gaza border region, holding Israeli flags — some with the symbol of a yellow hostage ribbon intertwined with the blue star, others with the gray flag of the Eshkol region — as they await the funeral procession of Dror Or, a Kibbutz Be’eri resident whose body was released by Palestinian terrorists from Gaza last week.
Or was killed on October 7, 2023, and his body was taken captive from Kibbutz Be’eri to Gaza as his wife Yonat was killed and two of his three children taken captive. The children were released in the first hostage-ceasefire deal in November 2023.
Or was born and raised on Kibbutz Re’im, and the funeral procession departed from Re’im before heading to the burial in Be’eri, a short drive away.
