Tragically, a 20-year-old soldier, Natan Fitoussi, was killed by friendly fire. He was laid to rest at a cemetery in Netanya. While details surrounding the incident are still coming to light, it appears the soldier left his post to pray, and was shot by another soldier on duty when he returned. Protocols are in place to prevent these kinds of tragedies, and the IDF is investigating what went wrong. Please pray for this young man’s family as they mourn the sudden loss of their son. Please also pray for wisdom for IDF officials as they investigate. Lastly, please also pray for the soldier who shot Natan, for peace and comfort for him in this difficult time.
