Funeral held for 12th child killed in Hezbollah rocket strike on Golan soccer field
The 12th child killed in a Hezbollah rocket strike on a soccer field in Majdal Shams was laid to rest Monday in the Druze town, a day after the other victims’ funerals.
Hundreds of mourners attended the ceremony for 11-year-old Gevara Ebraheem. A relative said that the tragedy had “shaken our hearts.”
According to the Haaretz daily, the child posted on his Facebook page on October 15, days after the start of the war, that “we don’t want war, we want to live in peace.”
Ebraheem is survived by his parents and younger brother.
The boy had been considered missing for some 24 hours following the Saturday afternoon strike in northern Israel that killed 11 other children, all of whom had been on a soccer field when the Iranian-made rocket impacted, killing them before they could make it to safety.
