"Beautiful on the outside and on the inside, full of self-confidence"
: the late 18-year-old Noa Lazar, who was murdered in an attack at the Shuafat checkpoint, was laid to rest tonight (Monday) in the military section of the cemetery in Kfar Yona. Hundreds of family members, friends and acquaintances accompanied her on her last journey.
Upon learning of her death, many visitors came before the holiday to console the Lazar family in the settlement of Bat Hefer in Sharon.
Her parents, Liron and Karin, are divorced and each came from their home to Bat Hefer.
The older sister Adi, 22 years old, also arrived at the family home.
The paternal grandparents were on a trip to Italy when they received the bitter news.
As soon as they received the good news, they started back to Israel.
Because of this, it was decided that the funeral would be held at the end of the holiday.
Among the comforters who arrived at the family's home were also Brigadier General Avi Chai Mivar, a military police officer, and Lt. Col. Hagi Sin Itzik of Erez Military District. Lehi Avizohar, Noa's friend said: "She was lying under me.
I knew her because, after all, we are a small settlement.
I woke up to this news and I'm just shocked.
She was an amazing girl.
She was such a social girl.
I'm just shocked.
She wanted to serve as a warrior.
All of us in the settlement strive for excellence.
Noa grew up in the Scouts.
She was an amazing girl.
A bright, smiling, funny and beautiful girl."

Yossi, a neighbor of the family, said: "This is a perfect family, no less. I know the father mostly. They are humble, honest people. Her father is the salt of the earth, with a heart of gold. It is a trauma, it is impossible to contain such a thing. It is a terrible disaster and the heart painful".
Noa studied elementary school at the community school 'Shots' and high school in Kiryat Hanachun named after Ben Gurion (Rupin).
Her classmates said: "She was beautiful inside and out. Full of self-confidence. She always knew exactly what she wanted. Funny, makes those around her smile and feel comfortable, fun.
You can trust her to always say the right word. Very opinionated. Her friends wanted to know what she was." She thinks about every subject and when she speaks, everyone listens. Pepper."
Noa's teacher also talked about her unique character: "A girl who always smiled and laughed. She was loved and surrounded by friends. Mature for her age. Always optimistic with a smile, happy with life and love for others, of course, and full of friends. In the class book, she wrote that she dreams of opening a beauty salon together with Mika Levy who painted It will be pink."
The head of the Emek Hefer Regional Council, Galit Shaul, also eulogized the young resident of the council: "A difficult and painful morning in Emek Hefer. Noa, from the settlement of Bat Hefer, who was educated at the Ben Gurion Educational Kiryat, chose to serve as a fighter in the army and contribute her best to the country.
The entire council shares in the grief of her beloved family and hugs them on this terrible day.
In the council and in the settlement of Bat Hefer, events are held during these hours in order to support family and friends, and to help them as much as necessary."
The council said: "The Emek Hefer Regional Council mourns the death of the late Noa Lazar from Bet Hefer, a crossing fighter in the Erez Battalion of the Military Police, who was killed last night while performing her duties in the shooting attack at the Shoafat checkpoint.
We hug with pain the family members of the late Noa, the residents of Bat Hefer and the students and teachers of Kiryat Ben-Gurion Education where she studied.
The representatives of the council, the Yishuv and the Ben-Gurion Educational District are working and organizing together in order to provide assistance and support to the family members and the students in these unbearably difficult moments. The youth complex in Bat Hefer will be opened this morning in order to receive everyone who wants to be together at this difficult time. There will be professionals there and volunteers who will help all who come."
