Sgt. Elhai Teharlev identified as person killed in Ofra car-ramming

The IDF identifies Sgt. Elhai Teharlev as the person killed in this morning’s car-ramming attack in the central West Bank.

Teharlev, 20, served in the Golani Brigade. He was from the Talmon settlement, northwest of Ramallah.

He was posthumously promoted to sergeant from corporal, the army says.

The fact that the victim of the car-ramming was a soldier was not released to the public until Teharlev’s family could be notified.

He will be buried in Jerusalem’s Mount Herzl military cemetery at 6:30 p.m.
