Kohavi urges families of fallen soldiers to respect ban on cemetery visits
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIDF Chief of Staff Aviv Kohavi acknowledges the difficulty of the decision to bar visits to cemeteries during Memorial Day for families of fallen soldiers, but says it must be respected.
“The distance doesn’t prevent closeness or deep identification with the sorrow,” he says.
Kohavi is speaking during a ceremony at Mount Herzl military cemetery in Jerusalem, during which small Israeli flags are placed at all the graves.
