Netanyahu visits family of Yehuda Katz, after soldier missing for 44 years receives burial

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited the family of Sgt. First Class Yehuda Yekutiel Katz on Wednesday, following his burial last week. Katz's remains were recovered in a military intelligence and Mossad operation in Lebanon, 44 years after he went missing during the First Lebanon War's Battle of Sultan Yacoub on June 11, 1982. Netanyahu expressed his sorrow that Katz's parents passed away before his return, stating, "Today, all of us, the entire people of Israel, embrace the Katz family." Katz was buried on the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem.
