Israel buries remains of returned soldiers
JERUSALEM (CNN) -- Israel buried two soldiers Thursday whose remains were returned in an exchange with the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah the day before.
Friends and relatives in the coastal city of Nahariya watched as soldiers lowered the wooden coffin of Sgt. Maj. Ehud Goldwasser into the ground.
And in Haifa, thousands of mourners attended the funeral at the military cemetery for 1st Sgt. Eldad Regev.
Goldwasser and Regev were captured after Hezbollah militants crossed into Israel on a raid in July 2006.
