The family of hostage Yossi Sharabi confirmed that his body was returned to Israel and was officially identified at the Institute of Forensic Medicine. Nira, Yossi's wife, said: "We miss our Yossi so much, who was a wonderful partner and perfect father to Yuval, Ophir and Oren. A kind-hearted person who always looked for ways to do good. Now we can end the nightmare that began more than two years ago, and give Yossi a dignified and loving burial in the soil of Be'eri that he loved so much. We call to continue the struggle for the return of all the hostages' bodies, until the last hostage." This was reported from Kibbutz Be'eri.
