Ohad Yahalomi, who was murdered in Hamas captivity in the Gaza Strip, will be laid to rest at Kibbutz Nir Oz on Wednesday.
His remains were returned to Israel last Thursday, along with those of Itzik Elgarat, Shlomo Mantzur, and Tsachi Idan.
The Yahalomi family, alongside the Hostages and Missing Families Forum, has invited the public to join in the funeral procession and pay their respects.
