A 'cry from the soul of the nation' as bodies identified with a number - but not a name

A funeral has been held for Israeli hostage Guy Illouz - with many Israelis seeing "him and his story of captivity as a symbol of pain".

Sky's Adam Parsons says the returning of the body of Guy Illouz is "evidence the ceasefire is bearing fruit" but it is "also proof of the deep trauma felt across Israeli society".

In Gaza too, there is a focus on the dead as 45 bodies of Palestinian prisoners have been returned by Israel - with 90 bodies sent back to Gaza in two days.

"All have been identified with a number - but not a name."
