Within 24 hours, a cemetery was established for his Jewish farming outpost, founded two years ago.
David Libi, the Israeli civilian military contractor who died in an IED blast in northern Gaza on Thursday, was buried in his hometown of Malachei Hashalom on Friday, hours after a cemetery was constructed at the outpost in the Binyamin region of Samaria.
“Following the news of the fall of David Libi, may God avenge his blood, in Gaza, I turned to government ministers with a request to help bring David Libi to burial in the new community of Malachei Hashalom,” Binyamin Regional Council head Israel Ganz wrote on Facebook.
“Within 24 hours, a cemetery was established for the community that was founded just two years ago, and where the eldest son of the town’s founder, settlement activist Eliav Libi, will be laid to rest,” he said.
