All four Givati Brigade soldiers killed while fighting in Rafah yesterday are being buried this afternoon in funerals across the country ahead of the start of Shavuot this evening.
Maj. Tal Pshebilski Shaulov, 24, is being buried in Gedera; Staff Sgt. Eitan Karlsbrun, 20, is being laid to rest in Modiin; Sgt. Yair Levin, 19, is being buried in Karnei Shomron; and the funeral of Sgt. Almog Shalom, 19, is being held on Mount Herzl in Jerusalem.
They all served in the Givati Brigade’s reconnaissance unit. Shalom and Levin were still in their training period, and Shaulov was their company commander. Levin is the grandson of former Likud MK Moshe Feiglin.
