The funeral of Oded Lifshitz, who was kidnapped from Kibbutz Nir Oz and slain in captivity, is being held now in the kibbutz.
The 83-year-old’s remains were returned by Hamas to Israel last week, along with those of the Bibas family.
President Isaac Herzog is slated to make remarks during the funeral proceedings.
