A dog belonging to the elite Yamam counterterrorism police unit, killed by Palestinian terrorists this morning, is laid to rest at the unit’s dog cemetery.

The nine-year-old Belgian Malinois, Zili, was killed during a gunbattle in the West Bank city of Nablus, during which three Palestinians were also killed, including Ibrahim Nabulsi, a wanted Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades member.

“The Yamam soldiers paid their last respects to man’s best friend,” police say in a statement.
