The coffins of the four kedoshim were brought to Israel on Thursday morning.
As Israel waited with broken hearts for the four kedoshim to return to Israel, Hamas prepared a depraved ceremony in Khan Younis. The barbaric handover ceremony began at about 9:20 a.m. to the sounds of the cheering, clapping and whistling of the delighted audience. The coffins were handed over to the Red Cross, who transported them to a meeting point in the Strip where IDF forces were waiting.
Shortly after 10 p.m., the coffins were handed over to the IDF. The coffins were locked and were handed over with keys that didn’t fit the locks. IDF sappers thoroughly inspected the coffins to ensure they weren’t rigged with explosives and then forced the locks open.
A decision was made to shorten the ceremony. IDF Chief Rabbi Brig. Gen. Eyal Karim recited an appropriate kappitel Tehillim – 83 – over the coffins while IDF soldiers saluted. The coffins were then placed in IDF vehicles, which transported them across the border to Israel and continued to the Abu Kabir Institute of Forensic Medicine in Tel Aviv.
Earlier, the terror group built a stage featuring a banner depicting Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu as a vampire delighting over the “murder” of the hostages, with images of Shiri, Ariel and Kfir Bibas and Oded Lifshitz. The banner stated in Arabic, Hebrew, and English: “War Criminal Netanyahu and His Army Killed Them With Missiles and Zionist Warplanes.”
YWN made a decision to publish the disturbing images [see below] as they reflect the barbarity of Hamas. However, the videos of the disturbing ceremony, staged against the backdrop of celebratory music, were not published.
Another banner glorifying the October 7 massacre and depicting multiple “Zionist” coffins, states: “The return of the war = the return of your prisoners in coffins.” The coffins were placed on the stage. Written on them [the coffins of babies!] were the words: “Date of arrest: October 7, 2023.”
A third banner states: “We Never Forgave Nor Forgot, ‘Al-Aqsa Flood’ Was Our Promise.”
Hundreds of terrorists and “innocent” Gazan civilians gathered to watch the barbaric ceremony, delighted to start their day gloating over a Jewish mother, babies, and an elderly man brutally abducted from their homes and murdered in captivity.
According to Kan News reporter Roi Kais, terrorists released from Israeli prisons in previous hostage release waves, were among the audience.

Very weak Israeli government
President Trump gave Israel the permission to do whatever they want. The way it seems this government and all the previous ones are only interested in maintaining their political power.What they should have done is simple. Yes simple. No need to go in fighting room to room and lose soldiers. Just no the shipments of food,water,medicine,fuel,internet connections,foreign media,electricity. The gazan civilians would loot and kill the Hamas as they would be starving. Foolish Israeli government allows media to see their bombings and the entire world in every college has turned against Israel and Jews. If Trump wanted to move them out and the Israelis instead are giving the Hamas a chance to rebuild instead as Arab countries are ready to rebuild with twenty billion dollars. Trump will eventually see how weak and foolish the Israelis are and will walk away from his original idea of moving all these gazans out. War will continue till Mossiach comes or until chareidim who also have seichel take over.
They and all their supporters.
To quote the various מפרשים על ספר ישעיהו:- Not 1 single ounce of anti-semitism since בריאת העולם including even just nasty gestures, shall go unpunished, so these gazans better get petrified as to how much more punishment shall be awaiting them with these cruel handover Ceremonies, in addition to everything else:- be it in this lifetime or next world or during our future גאולה.
Please Our merciful Father From Above & Below , Listen to the words of תהלים פג & all the tefilos poured from the heart .
And 1 more comment …” The world stood still ,didn’t make a sound “
This is what the filthy BBC has to say: Here’s a timeline of how their return to Israel unfolded:
Crowds of Palestinians began gathering in a square in Khan Younis, in the south of Gaza, from around 08:30 local time
Four coffins were brought onto a stage that had been set up in the middle of the square. Hamas members, some of them armed, stood watch – NOT A WORD ABOUT THE CHEERING AND CLAPPING “INNOCENT” CIVILIANS!!!
Your decision to publish that picture was disgraceful. In Israel, the media has refrained from posting such images out of basic decency and respect for the victims—a mother, children, and a grandfather—brutally murdered. Yet, Yeshiva World News saw fit to disregard that sensitivity, showing a shocking disconnect from the pain of the families, the Jewish people, and the nation as a whole.
This is not just irresponsible journalism; it is a fundamental failure of respect. The Israeli government and media understand the weight of these tragedies and act accordingly. But time and again, Yeshiva World News rushes to publish before Israel itself does, ignoring the serious reasons why certain information is withheld.
This pattern reflects a broader issue within the Yeshiva community—a detachment from the real suffering of Am Yisrael. If you truly believe these victims are kedoshim, then show it. Stop chasing headlines at the expense of the grieving families, and start acting with the dignity and sensitivity this moment demands.
Once all the hostages are released drop an atomic bomb on gaza
A kodosh is somebody that had a choice not to do something and dies for sake of God not like put on tefillin in the morning so you won’t get a dog bite or not to become a Muslim where they believe only in one God, or to give you life not to get angry, meaning want to live but died without the anger for the sake of God

When you hear innocent Palestinians know it’s an intentional coverup to make most islamists separate from radical Islam
There is no separation .
I guess new method for terrorists to carry babies as human shield so Israeli does not kill them.
Nuke them
Someone please explain what exactly is the Tayna on the Red Cross ?
. says:
Incorrect. A kadosh is anyone who died for the sole reason of them being Jewish.
Where are the Gedolei Hador publicly exclaiming what a horrible tragedy this is? How come we havent heard that they were menachem oveil Does nichum aveilim only apply to a deceased Jew who wears a certain type of clothing? Are these gedolim really setting the right example? When the Rabonon direct us to engage in imitati dei, notice that the very first attribute of Hashem that we are supposed to emulate is rachmonus, remember the gemora says: “ma hu rachum af atoh rachum”, chazals 1st order of business when telling us to not only do what Hashem tells us to do, but also to act in a manner that Hashem acts, with mercy and compassion. Shouldnt peole who purport themselves to be our leaders , who teach us daas torah, also teach us to copy Hashem and to be merciful and compassionate Jews??
Much beautiful literature can be written and said, but the first thing in Judaism is not to believe in yourself as something great or having some special heritance, rather the first thing in Judaism is to believe in God as the only power in all aspects of life including the hidden, and idol worship or kefirah is the first thing that will get completely punished
I can’t imagine or recall anyone stupider than the Israeli Govt.
this is what happens when their is no belief in HaShem
Why stupid?
Besides the stupid asinine agreement
Now the world is now ready to see the decimation of the animals the non humans on two feet –
They would cheer the emptying of Gaza and it’s inhabitants
Yes- the usual suspects would protest bit in general the world would agree that baby killers do t deserve to share our air
