President, IDF chief mourn Or Asraf
President Reuven Rivlin and IDF Chief of Staff Gadi Eizenkot offer condolences to the family of Or Asraf, whose body was discovered in Nepal earlier today.
“The terrible news of Or Asraf’s death is heartbreaking,” Rivlin says in a statement. “The mobilization of search and rescue forces, and the loyal support of his army comrades in the search, instilled within us great hope. It was the prayer of an entire nation that he would be found alive and well. My sympathies go out to his family after this difficult and tragic loss.”
Eizenkot calls Asraf “the salt of the earth,” and the “best of our boys.”
