Sarel buried in Hebron

In Hebron, Major Benaya Sarel is laid to rest in a midnight funeral.

Sarel, 26 and from Kiryat Arba, right outside Hebron, was killed on Friday along with Staff Sgt. Liel Gidoni in an attack in Rafah on Friday morning, during which  2nd Lt. Hadar Goldin was kidnapped.

The raid, which included a suicide bombing and involved enemy gunmen emerging from a tunnel shaft, came at 9:30 in the morning, during the early hours of what was to have been a 72-hour truce.

Gidoni will be buried on Sunday at 5 p.m. in Jerusalem.
