Slain Israeli hostage Shiri Bibas and her two young boys Ariel and Kfir were buried together in a single casket during a heartbreaking funeral on Wednesday in which hundreds of people turned out to mourn.

Holding flags, orange balloons and signs saying ''forgive us,'' tens of thousands of Israelis lined highways as the bodies of a mother and her two young sons, killed in captivity in the Gaza Strip, were taken for burial on Wednesday.

Thousands of Israelis lined the streets to mourn the Bibases, who were taken hostage in the Hamas-led attack on Oct. 7, 2023, and had become a symbol of the country’s trauma.
