Kobi Kalfon, father of hostage survivor Segev Kalfon, called in a statement from the families of returned hostages at Shiba-Tel Hashomer Hospital for the return of all the fallen: "Our only picture of victory will be when we bring back all the hostages who have fallen for proper burial in the Holy Land. Just as Moses was commanded to bring up Joseph's bones from Egypt - so we are commanded for every son of Israel from captivity and from his place, alive or fallen. This is true kindness and endless mutual responsibility." He recited the Shehecheyanu blessing and thanked all those who helped in the struggle to return the hostages.
