The military will conduct a short ceremony led by IDF Chief Rabbi Brig. Gen. Eyal Karim.
The bodies will be placed in new coffins draped in Israeli flags, and Karim will read psalms and the mourner’s Kaddish, the Jewish prayer for the dead.
The hostages will then be carried by Israeli troops into IDF vehicles and taken to Israel for identification.
