Herzog noted that the return of their remains represents "a moment of deep pain, alongside solace and closure." He added, "We will continue to do everything in our power to bring our brothers and sisters back from hell - the living for rehabilitation and healing, and the fallen for proper burial in Israel. Until the very last one."
