Shelly Shem Tov, the mother of Omer, who returnedSaturday from captivity in Gaza, said in a statement at Beilinson Hospital that "Omer shared that all he dreamed of doing when he returned home was to put his head on my lap and have me stroke his hair." She noted that "as a mother, as a woman and as a human being - I ask the Red Cross, the global community, to do the minimum and protect our children, our citizens. This is the minimum that is required."
