Eyal Yifrach’s grandfather: He died a hero
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe grandfather of Eyal Yifrach says he is convinced his grandson “died a hero.”
In his eulogy for Yifrach at his funeral in Elad, also attended by Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon, his grandfather says he is certain the 19-year-old gave his kidnappers “everything he had” and struggled with them “with all his might” to try to escape.
“He didn’t go like a lamb to the slaughter,” the elderly man says with conviction and pride, adding that all three youths had “glorified the name of God.”
“You united Israel for the first time in many years,” he says.
