Danny Gonen, who was murdered in a shooting near the settlement of Dolev in the West Bank on Friday, was laid to rest in Lod Saturday night.
His mother Dvorah Gonen eulogized him by saying: "You lived your life as a free Jew in his country. You loved the country and you loved the truth. You espoused the truth and that's how you lived."
"Love of the land was a supreme value for you. You also loved those who lived in the land. You loved to hike. Alas, you were murdered while hiking in the land you loved," she added.
