In Kfar Saba, a prayer rally for the safe return of Hadar Goldin is continuing and growing outside the family’s home, with hundreds of neighbors, youth group members and other supporters waving flags, holding signs and singing.

Two sisters of Goldin’s fiance Edna reluctantly speak to Channel 2 news, thanking the country for its support and expressing hope for the upcoming wedding between Hadar and Edna.
“Thank you to everyone who came,” one sister says. “Many prayers, many many prayers.”
“We trust in our army that they will do everything to bring Hadar home,” says the other sister.
Meanwhile, Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon has left the home, though IDF Personnel Directorate head Orna Barbivai and army Chief Rabbi Rafi Peretz remain.
