Family of hostage taken from Kibbutz Nir Oz on October 7 hold funeral after bodies recovered from Gaza

ABC  

In a community hit hard on October 7, people have gathered to bury their dead. "To bury a friend, it's not an easy job and the way he went from us, it's unbelievable," said Avraham's friend Hannahleh Margalit. Boycott of memorial Nir Oz joined several other kibbutz communities in Gaza's periphery in announcing their plans to boycott an upcoming government memorial event marking the one-year anniversary of the October 7 attacks. "The resounding failure of the current Israeli government to return the abductees will not allow it to continue trying to close the circle," the hostage family forum, an organisation that represents most hostage families, said. "I don't believe that they really want to bring them back," said Hila Galili, a mourner angry at the government, who is also involved in the weekly protests.
