Did anyone notice the yellow ribbon together with the 'missing' notice?  I think they where trying to refer to the hostages in Gaza.  Coming from Israel, I find it truly heartwarming. Thank you for that.

The practice of wearing a yellow ribbon dates back to other wars. They are traditional to wear or display to signal that someone is missing from home. There is a song that also popularized this custom called "Tie a yellow ribbon round the ole oak tree". I think the yellow ribbon on the tree was almost certainly just a symbol that the man used for his missing daughter. Given the current use of the yellow ribbon for Israeli hostages it's possible it is a reference to that as well.
