Golani Brigade Commander Col. Adi Ganon addressed his fighters in the Gaza Strip and brigade soldier Edan Alexander, who was released from Hamas captivity, via military communication system. 'A little over a year and a half ago, the murderous Hamas terror organization raided the border communities, massacred, looted, kidnapped and committed atrocities while IDF soldiers defended the defense line behind us with their lives,' he said. 'Today we received news of Edan's release from Hamas captivity. Edan, who fought on that terrible morning, is returning home. The Golani family embraces you, is moved by your return and stands with you all the way.'
