Ahead of the return of four hostages’ bodies tomorrow, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says in a video statement, “Tomorrow will be a very difficult day for the State of Israel — a shocking day, a day of grief. We are bringing home four of our beloved abductees, who have fallen.

“We embrace the families, and the heart of an entire nation is torn apart. My heart is torn. Yours is too. And the heart of the whole world should be torn as well, because here we see who we are dealing with, what we are dealing with — monsters.

“We mourn, we hurt, but we are also determined to ensure that such a thing never happens again.”
