"For a year we thought he was still alive. I wanted so much to hug him one last time," says Omri Shtivi. He thought his brother was still alive in Gaza, only to learn three days ago that he had in fact been killed on 7 October 2023. The Israeli army told his family on Sunday, on the eve of the first anniversary of the Hamas attack, that Idan Shtivi was already dead when he was abducted. Despite the absence of the body, the family mourns and received friends and relatives during 'shiva', the week following the announcement of the death, in accordance with Jewish tradition.
