Prachya Heiman, sister of Yehuda Katz, the last missing soldier from the Sultan Yacoub battle, responded in a ynet studio interview to the return of Staff Sergeant Zvi Feldman's remains, saying: 'An hour before the information was released to the media, I heard the news.' Heiman shared her feelings, saying: 'I still hope Yehuda will be found alive. Given the fall of the regime in Syria, we've seen people emerging from underground.' According to her, the family 'is searching for the truth. We will deal with the truth. We knew a week after the war that there were bodies of soldiers at the site.'
