Alon Nimrodi, father of fallen soldier Tamir Nimrodi whose body was returned to Israel, revealed that his son told the terrorists who kidnapped him on the way to the Gaza Strip that he was from Iraq. He shared this during an interview with Keshet News. At his son's funeral, Nimrodi said that Tamir made a "brilliant move that was classified until now." According to the father, "In the car that drove them to the Gaza Strip with four terrorists - he, Ron (Sherman) and Nick Beiser were in the same vehicle. When they asked Nick where he was from - he said Israel. They beat him and cursed him. Tamir understood that Israel wasn't good for him - and said I'm from Iraq."
