With mixed emotions, Yael and Yuval, both younger sisters of two female soldiers killed by Hamas, meet at a military base ready to serve, reports The Times of Israel:

The younger sisters of two surveillance officers, Sgt. Roni Eshel and Cpl. Noa Marciano, who were killed by Hamas began their Israel Defense Forces service on Monday, in an emotional moment for the two families at the military’s recruitment headquarters at Tel Hashomer.

The two new recruits, Yael Eshel and Yuval Marciano, were set to serve as instructors for combat soldiers.

Their families met coincidentally at the base in central Israel on Monday morning, just over a year after the deadly terror attack in southern communities and IDF bases sparked the ongoing war in the Gaza Strip.
