Goldwasser, Regev were killed in initial attack
Following two years of uncertainty and a day after a long and multi-staged prisoner swap at the Rosh Hanikra border crossing, Eldad Regev and Ehud Goldwasser will finally be laid to rest in military cemeteries on Thursday.

Officials said an initial examination of the bodies, transferred by Hizbullah, revealed that both soldiers were killed during the assault on their border patrol two years ago, an attack that sparked the Second Lebanon War.

Goldwasser, officials said, suffered a lethal wound to the chest from a rocket-propelled grenade and Regev appeared to have been shot in the head, perhaps when trying to escape their burning IDF Hummer.

The identification process took several hours due to the bodies' poor state. The final identification was done using an advanced imaging system, specially brought to Rosh Hanikra, that scanned the soldiers' teeth. DNA tests were also conducted at the crossing.
