Thousands of people attended the funeral of an IDF lone soldier last night after concerns were raised that there would not be many people there to pay their final respects. Nissim Sean Carmeli was a dual U.S.-Israeli citizen who split his time between Texas and Ra’anana. He is one of two dual U.S.-Israeli citizens to have been killed in #OperationProtectiveEdge: http://bit.ly/WB45Od

We extend our prayers to the loved ones of all soldiers who have died defending Israel during Protective Edge, and to lone soldiers giving their lives to Israel.
