Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon on Wednesday 20 Sivan 5774 met with all the families of the captive teenagers. The meeting, which lasted a number of hours, was held in the Defense Ministry on Kaplan Street in Tel Aviv.

The families were briefed on Operation Brothers Home, the ongoing IDF operation in PA (Palestinian Authority) areas to locate and rescue their sons. At least 10 brigades are already involved in the operation which most feel will be expanded at some point in the not-so-distant future.

The minister also spoke with the parents about the efforts to extract information from the over 200 Hamas terrorists and commanders that have been arrested since Friday, 15 Sivan. He also gave them some idea of where the operation stands today and what might be expected in the coming days.
