Yair 'Yaya' Yaakov, who was killed by invading terrorists on October 7, 2023, outside his home in Kibbutz Nir Oz and his body taken hostage, was buried at the kibbutz cemetery on Friday, after IDF forces recovered his body on June 12. His children, partner, siblings, and former wife all speak of Yaya's dream to travel around the world by caravan once he turned 60. Musician Eviatar Banai sings two songs, 'Abba' (Father) and 'Layla KeYom Yair.'
