Hundreds gathered at the Nir Yitzhak cemetery to lay Tal Haimi to rest after his body was returned from Gaza. Haimi, a member of the kibbutz's emergency squad, was killed in combat and leaves behind his wife, Ella, and four children, including a baby he never met. During an emotional eulogy, Ella spoke of her final moments with Tal and played a recording of their infant son's laughter. She expressed relief that he had finally returned home and could now rest in peace.
