Several hostages’ families have given consent recently for videos of their relatives to be shown, to increase the pressure to bring them home. I think Eitan is the first of these who is known to have been murdered. The others are living hostages (it’s still hoped). It is very, very important within Judaism for their remains to be returned for decent burial, and seeing how their bodies were defiled in Gaza will only increase that wish.

Totally a normal thing for a family to do. Not weird at all.
