ROCKFORD, Ill. (WIFR) – Politicians respond to the death of Hersh Goldberg-Polin, an American Israeli citizen, after the bodies of six hostages are found in Gaza. My heart is broken by this gut-wrenching news. My deepest condolences are with Hersh’s family and friends, including those throughout the Chicagoland area, and his parents, Rachel and Jon, who have been staunch advocates for the hostages and their families-their bravery, strength and steadfast love for their son has been awe-inspiring.
