IDF officer Maj. Bar Falah is laid to rest in the military cemetery in Netanya after he was killed in a firefight overnight in the West Bank.

Hundreds of mourners turn out to pay their final respects to Falah.

“He loved his homeland, he loved the army, he was intoxicated by the army,” says his uncle, Eli. “He always said that I will always lead my soldiers, I will serve as an example and I will go first.”
