This is really unique! Instead of a happy event this sad event turned into a really royal funeral for the last hostage of the Gaza war who has finally found. Two days ago a huge group of Israeli soldiers turned an improvised cemetery in the northern part of the Gaza strip upside down and located among hundreds of bodies the long missed remains of the hero soldier Rani Gvili.
In the morning hours of Oct. 7, 2023 Ran woke up the terrible news of
the raid of the Gazan terrorists into Israel. He was injured at his shoulder
and was due to undergo surgery. However, he didn’t hesitate to join his
colleagues, being a member of a special unit of the police. He grabbed his
weapon and went out to defend his country. He arrived to help protect Kibbutz
Alumim, succeeded to kill 14 terrorists, but was shot at and wounded and
finally murdered and his body dragged into Gaza.
The Israeli army and the government had pledged that no hostage will
stay behind. This pledge was finally fulfilled last Monday. Today’s funeral was
nothing less than royal. His unbelievable family, the entire top echelon of
leaders of Israel, half of the country attended either in person or in watching
the funeral. The were many moving eulogies, the first by his incredible mother.
There is no place in the world compared to Israel in honoring its
heroes, its soldiers, its captives, old and young, soldiers and civilians,
saving no effort to bring them home, the injured living ones for
rehabilitation, the deceased an honorable funeral in the holy earth of
Israel.
