Yigal Yaakov, son of Yair whose body was recovered from the Gaza Strip, wrote on Instagram: "Dad, I love you. I don't know how to react yet, I'm sad to say this but I've been waiting for your funeral. I love you, I knew this day would come. Thank you to the IDF and Shin Bet forces for the recovery, I hope we will bring the rest back in a deal that doesn't endanger soldiers." Or, Yigal's brother, added: "Dad, you are finally here."
