Michel Iluz, father of fallen hostage Guy Iluz who was returned to Israel from the Gaza Strip, eulogized his son during the funeral procession, quoting Guy's friend who wrote to him: "You should know Michel that I'm still emotionally devastated two years later, my mind refuses to process this, it's very difficult for me to overcome this emptiness in my heart." The father added, "It's hard to see the horizon without you, they kidnapped you from me - murdered you - kidnapped me and stole my identity and murdered my soul and heart." Parallel to the funeral procession, Israeli officials estimated that the bodies of two more hostages would be returned tonight.
