The release by Hezbollah of the bodies of Eldad Regev and Ehud Goldwasser brought a sense of closure, but no joy, to the families of the two soldiers kidnapped in 2006, sparking a war in Lebanon.
The news that the two Israeli soldiers abducted by Hezbollah in July 2006 were returned to Israel deceased prompted an outpouring of sympathy by U.S. Jews and a pledge to continue fighting for Gilad Shalit’s release.
