Mother of Cedrick Garin, who was killed fighting in Gaza, will receive Israeli citizenship
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe mother of Cedrick Garin will receive Israeli citizenship after he was killed in Gaza last week, Interior Minister Moshe Arbel has decided, Hebrew-language daily Haaretz reports.
Garin was the only child of his parents Imelda and Rico, who came to Israel from the Philippines before he was born.
His father was deported when Cedrick was two years old, but his mother remained with him in Israel as a temporary resident.
Garin received Israeli citizenship upon completing his military service. Following his death in Gaza last week when two buildings collapsed and killed 21 IDF soldiers, his mother will now receive citizenship as well, the report states.
