President Isaac Herzog eulogized Zehava Shaul on Friday, calling her a 'brave mother' who carried the pain of losing her son with courage. The tribute came after Shaul, mother of fallen IDF soldier Oron Shaul, died earlier Friday. Shaul was buried in Poria Illit beside her husband and son, as The Zioneer reported at 09:02 Jerusalem. The regional council mourned her as a 'noble woman' who fought for over a decade to bring her son to an Israeli grave. Shaul became a public symbol in the campaign to recover the remains of her son, held by Hamas since the 2014 Gaza war. Herzog's remarks were reported by ynet. The fight for the return of fallen soldiers continues.
