Abducted into Gaza

Kiril's body was abducted into Gaza by Hamas terrorists.

Despite his body being in Gaza, his family held a funeral for him on November 29.

During his funeral, his commanding officer delivered a glowing eulogy: "You were determined to learn about the division and perform your role on the side as best as possible. I was privileged to be with you in your early days, always ready, always with the silence that characterized you, and always with professionalism."

This is a developing story.
