Sergeant Neria Balta, a platoon sergeant in the Givati military police station, was killed yesterday (Saturday) in a battle in the southern Gaza Strip. Neria's funeral was held today in the military section of the cemetery in Netanya.
His brother, who also fought in Gaza, told painfully: "You would do everything quietly with constant humility, you would conquer every place you went to. I never told you that, but I admired you." Neria Rahami's father told about him in tears, "I am proud of you, that you are our son, a son of the Land of Israel fighting for our holy land"
