An Israeli family of five whose bodies were discovered in each other’s arms after being killed by Hamas militants were buried together in a funeral attended by hundreds of mourners.

Family and friends bid farewell to the Kotz family — a couple and their three children who were gunned down in their home at kibbutz Kfar Azza during the Hamas invasion of southern Israel on October 7.
