War cabinet minister Benny Gantz welcomes the return of the two hostages rescued overnight from the Gaza Strip, while mourning the deaths of the two soldiers killed in a separate operation.
“We will never give up on them. The IDF, the Shin Bet and the police special forces acted precisely and courageously,” he writes.
“Along with the great joy at the return home of Fernando [Marman] and Louis [Har], there is great sadness at the fall of Sgt. First Class Adi Eldor and Sgt. First Class (res.) Alon Kleinman as they fought for us,” Gantz writes. “We will not stop working to return all 134 abductees home. We remember, and we continue.”
