Slain hostage Inbar Hayman, whose body was returned to Israel under a U.S.-brokered plan, was laid to rest on Friday (October 17).

Hayman, 27, was the last female hostage held in Gaza after being abducted alive by Palestinian militants during a Hamas-led attack on a southern Israel music festival on October 7, 2023. Her family was informed in December 2023 that she had been murdered while in Hamas captivity.

Under the U.S.-brokered deal between Israel and Hamas, aimed at ending the two-year war in Gaza, Hamas agreed to release the remaining 20 living hostages and 28 deceased hostages in exchange for Israel freeing nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners and detainees.

Hamas has handed over 10 coffins so far, one containing a body not identified as an Israeli hostage, the Israeli army said on Wednesday (October 15), leaving the remains of 19 hostages still in Gaza.
