The funeral of Major Yuval Ezra, who was killed in a shooting attack near Havat Gilad in Samaria, will be held at 17:00 at the Beit Dagan military cemetery, according to Channel 12.
The funeral of Major Yuval Ezra, killed in a shooting attack near Havat Gilad in Samaria, is scheduled for today (Sunday) at 17:00 at the Beit Dagan military cemetery, as previously reported by Channel 12 and a family notice. The ceremony is set to take place as planned, five hours from now.
The Zioneer's earlier reports on this story included conflicting accounts. Initial unverified reports on Friday, July 24, at 16:18 Jerusalem, indicated that Yuval Ezra had been murdered. Later that same evening, a report described the funeral as having taken place Friday afternoon, with mourners calling for revenge. However, also at 16:18 on Friday, another report stated that the funeral had been set for Sunday at 17:00, with the family observing shiva at 1 Ha'alon Street in Beit Dagan. That arrangement was reiterated by the family notice on Saturday, July 25, at 23:44 Jerusalem, which The Zioneer reported as background.
The attack occurred near the Havat Gilad outpost in Samaria, an area that has seen periodic violence. The Zioneer has covered the security situation in the region.
It remains unclear which officials, if any, will attend the funeral. The earlier report of a funeral on Friday afternoon with calls for revenge has not been reconciled with the later confirmed Sunday schedule; the desk has not independently verified whether a separate ceremony took place on Friday.
