Hundreds attend funeral of soldier killed in tank accident

Hundreds attend the funeral of Eliyahu Drori, a 20-year-old IDF soldier killed in a tank accident over the weekend near the Egyptian border.

Drori, who is buried at Jerusalem’s Mount Herzl Military Cemetery, is eulogized by the commander of the armored battalion in which he served.

Two of Drori’s comrades were seriously injured in Friday’s accident, during which their tank caught fire after falling into a riverbed.

Another soldier was lightly wounded.
