| More on the fatally wounded Israeli soldier from Pittsburgh |
| 2003-10-08 |
| Full story and picture at link. Edited for brevity. As news spread of a young Israeli soldier killed by a sniper Monday along the Lebanese border, mourning began at Community Day School in Squirrel Hill [PA]. David Solomonov’s ties to the school were strong. The 21-year-old had spoken to students just a year-and-a-half ago about what it was like to serve in the Israeli Army. His mother, Evelyn Solomonov, taught English at the school, and he had been a student there before his family moved to Israel in 1994. Solomonov died five days before he was scheduled to finish his three years of service in the Israeli Army. David Solomonov will be buried today at 7 a.m. Pittsburgh time [EDT] in the military cemetery in Kfar Saba, where he lived. |
