More than 1,500 people arrived on Friday afternoon to participate in an event at the Shuni Amphitheater marking the 26th birthday of IDF officer Lieutenant Hadar Goldin whose body is held by Hamas in Gaza.
Hadar's father, Professor Simcha Goldin, said at the event that "such an event with such a presence reinforces the sense that the nation of Israel is united with us, demanding that the Israeli leadership stop talking and begin to work to bring Hadar and Oron Shaul back home."
