SSgt. Guy Algranati laid to rest
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleHundreds gather in the Kiryat Shaul cemetery to pay their last respects to SSgt. Guy Algranati, 20, of Tel Aviv, Ynet reports.
Algranati was killed yesterday afternoon in a booby-trapped building in the southern Gaza Strip, after his elite Maglan unit arrived at the building to uncover a tunnel shaft below it. Believing the site to be an UNRWA health clinic, the troops took specific precautions to avoid damaging the structure, but the operatives — who had rigged the house and tunnel with explosives — detonated the bombs, bringing the house crumbling down on the troops, killing three and injuring 15.
