The IDF announces that a funeral will be held on Friday in Jerusalem for Sgt. First Class Yehuda Katz, whose remains were returned to Israel on Tuesday after he went missing in the First Lebanon War’s 1982 battle of Sultan Yacoub.

A funeral procession will depart from the Kerem Yeshiva in Yavneh at 8:30 a.m., and eulogies will be read at 10 a.m. at Jerusalem’s Mount of Olives cemetery, where Katz will be buried.
