Hannah Cohen, aunt of Inbar Hayman who was returned to Israel, told ynet that "it's closure - but we brought her back in a coffin and that's difficult." Cohen added: "We fought for her for two years. It's both difficult and joyful. There's a certain excitement that Inbar will finally receive the final rest she deserves, and that her parents will have a place to cry - that's very important to us." She also said that "Inbar was a commander in Caracal for three years, a detail we kept hidden. A stranger wouldn't understand this, but this closure is very important and meaningful."
