For the third time since the war started, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant met today (Sunday) met with families of the captives, telling them of all the efforts being made to bring their loved ones back home. Gal Hirsch, the governmental envoy on captives, also participated in the meeting.
At the meeting, the Defense Minister listed the different ways the government was seeking to free the captives, including the ground actions and the intelligence and operational efforts.
“We are committed to returning the hostages whether in a deal or in operational activity”
Gallant stressed the commitment to bring the captives home from Hamas captivity: “we are committed to bringing your loved ones home by any means – it doesn’t matter whether in operational activity or in a deal. In this war, the whole defense establishment is dealing with just two things – defeating Hamas and returning the hostages.”
