(JEWISH GROUP) Israeli family mourns 'man of peace' as body returned from Gaza
From her house in east London, British-Israeli Sharone Lifschitz never gave up hope that her 84-year-old father Oded would return from the horror of Hamas captivity, after more than 500 days.
He was a man of peace, a campaigner for, and a friend of, Palestinians.
He was dragged from his home by Palestinian gunmen on 7 October and killed in captivity after being taken to Gaza alive.
The return of his body on Thursday was devastating news for Ms Lifschitz and her family, particularly her mother Yocheved who was also a hostage but returned alive and now will not be able to reunite with her husband of 63 years.
