Funeral held in Jerusalem for Ionas Chrosis, 26, killed in Jaffa terror attack

The funeral is held in Jerusalem for 26-year-old Ionas Chrosis, who was killed in a terror attack in Jaffa on Tuesday.

Chrosis was a Greek citizen and was raised in Jerusalem after his parents moved to Israel to work as doctors, and decided to stay.

He studied architecture in Tel Aviv and was working on a project for his studies when he was killed in the shooting.

“He was kind-hearted and sensitive and always helped everyone,” one of his classmates told Channel 12 earlier this week. “He expressed infinite optimism in the face of every difficulty that came his way. He was talented, funny, and humble. He was always kind to the people around him and was a loyal friend who saw the good in everyone. He was a talented piano player.”

Seven people were killed and 16 others wounded in the attack on the Tel Aviv light rail and a nearby road in Jaffa, in one of the deadliest terror attacks in recent memory.
