TOPSHOT - Relatives and friends attend the funeral of Avraham Munder, who died in captivity after being taken hostage during the October 7 attacks by Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip, at kibbutz Nir Oz in southern Israel on August 21, 2024. The Israeli military said it had retrieved the bodies of six hostages from a tunnel in Gaza's southern area of Khan Yunis after a battle with Palestinian militants. Their families had been informed following intelligence analysis, the military said in a statement, later adding that the bodies were found on August 19 night in the tunnel.
