Hostage survivor Yigal Yaakov, son of Yair whose body was recovered yesterday from captivity in the Gaza Strip, said at a press conference: "My father returned home, but not as we dreamed. Dad was a simple man with a huge heart. He loved the land of our country, the fields, nature and the small, simple things in life. Today we say goodbye to him with aching hearts." Yigal added: "We want to remind everyone that there are still 53 hostages waiting to return home. I know what it's like, I was there. We pray that each and every one of them returns to their families."
