Israel held a farewell ceremony for Joshua Loitu Mollel at Ben Gurion Airport. The 21-year-old Tanzanian's remains were returned from Gaza earlier this month.
Mollel had arrived at Kibbutz Nahal Oz to work as a herdsman. He was there for only 19 days before the Hamas-led attack on October 7, 2023.
The ceremony honored Mollel as his family and the nation shared in their grief. His death highlights the international impact of the conflict.
