Speaking from Yishuv Talmon, Shmuel Shai Cohen, a grandfather of Gilad Shaar addressed the media. He opened his words with praise for security forces along with a request for continued tefilos.

�I am not 16-years-old and not na�ve and if the worst does occur, we than HKBH for this land and B�H it happened here, in the land of the avos and imahos. We need tefilos to continue and that is what will bring peace to the land� stated Mr. Cohen.
