Settlers rebuild razed memorial of fallen soldier

None

Hours after security forces razed an unauthorized monument in memory of IDF soldier Avner Hezi Kfir, about 200 settlers arrived at the site in order to rebuild the memorial. In a rally held at the site, Kfir's former comrades, relatives, and public figures vowed that the new monument would be bigger and more impressive than the one demolished earlier Thursday.

 

Kfir, who served as a combat medic, was killed in a Lebanon battle in 1997. His relatives and comrades built the memorial about two years ago. (Yair Altman)
