TEL AVIV, ISRAEL - FEBRUARY 28: Friends, relatives and members of the public react during a memorial ceremony for former Israeli hostage Tsachi Idan organized by the Hapoel Tel Aviv soccer team at Bloomfield Stadium on February 28, 2025 in Tel Aviv, Israel. The body of former Israeli hostage Tsachi Idan was returned to Israel from Gaza on Wednesday along with three other deceased hostages, as part of the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas. Idan was 49 at the time of his abduction by Hamas militants on October 7, 2023, from his home in Kibbutz Nahal Oz. He is being buried alongside his teenage daughter, Maayan, who was shot and killed through the safe room door of their home during the attack. (Photo by Alexi J. Rosenfeld/Getty Images)
