Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIDF Lt. David Golovenchik, who was fatally shot in a training accident near Hebron last night, is being laid to rest at the Mount Herzl military cemetery in Jerusalem.
The 22-year-old from the West Bank settlement of Efrat is as posthumously promoted to the rank of 1st lieutenant.
Golovenchik was killed when his subordinate accidentally discharged his weapon and hit him during a nighttime drill. An initial probe has indicated that in violation of safety protocols, soldiers neglected to clear their weapons of ammunition prior to starting the drill.
