The mayor, Yaakov Peretz:
The State of Israel painfully marks seventy-six years since its independence, an independence that was bought with the blood of its good sons and daughters and with infinite sorrow. Bereavement and grief is joined this year by deep concern and prayer for the return of all the abductees and for the safety of the IDF soldiers who are fighting in the south and north of the country. We carry the memory of the martyrs in our hearts and know that thanks to their heroism, the State of Israel will win and thanks to their pure souls, the nation of Israel lives. May their memory be blessed May your soul rest in Eden.

The ceremony opened with the siren of silence and included the prayer to the Most Merciful God and "Yizkor", the recitation of the Kaddish from the mouth of a bereaved father, the lighting of a memorial torch and the traditional wreath-laying ceremony which includes a wreath The Government of Israel which was placed by MK Simon Moshiashvili, a hand wreath for whites and the bereaved families, a wreath for widows and orphans of the IDF, a wreath for the IDF and the security forces, a wreath for the Israel Police, a wreath for the IDF Disabled Organization and a wreath for the local authority which was laid by Mayor Yaakov Peretz.
