Yehuda Havshush, grandfather of Staff Sergeant Naveh Havshush, eulogized his grandson at the funeral Sunday evening, saying "a grandson dear to us — we still don't grasp it. In what world are we living, that a grandfather must bury his grandson?" The soldier fell in combat in southern Lebanon earlier this weekend; his funeral was held at the military cemetery in Adam, according to Israeli media.
Yehuda Havshush, the grandfather of Staff Sergeant Naveh Havshush, delivered a tearful eulogy at the funeral Sunday evening in the community of Adam, a settlement in the Binyamin region. The 20-year-old soldier, a combat medic in the 7th Armored Brigade's 77th Battalion, was killed during operations in southern Lebanon late Saturday night. His family's public grieving follows several days of uncertainty: Naveh's death was cleared for publication early Friday morning, and his father Chaim told Army Radio Sunday morning that the tank crew had been unreachable for hours before recovery teams could extract the casualties. The funeral procession was attended by hundreds of community members and fellow soldiers. Chaim Havshush had eulogized his son earlier in the day at the cemetery, per reports this morning; the grandfather's tribute now mourns beneath a different family layer — a grandfather burying his grandson.
