JNS.org – Five Israeli soldiers who were killed by terrorists near the Gaza border on Monday were laid to rest on Tuesday. They killed when terrorists emerged from a cross-border tunnel about 150 meters inside Israel and fired an anti-tank missile at an Israel Defense Forces post.

The fallen soldiers were Sgt. Nadav Raimond, 19, of the Paratroopers Brigade; Sgt. Sagi Erez, 19, of the Givati Brigade; Sgt. Daniel Kedmi, 19, of the Kfir Brigade; Sgt. Dor Dery, 18, of the Kfir Brigade; and Sgt. Barkey Ishai Shor, 21, of the Kfir Brigade.

“Daniel, my warrior, my friend, my boy. We spent a long time together, in training exercises, in treks. You were my right hand, someone I could trust,” said Kedmi’s commander, 2nd Lt. Or Tzarfati.
