[KavkazUzel] Shlomo (Dmitry) Reshetnikov, a native of Volgograd who died in Israel, was unveiled at the main cemetery in Israel. The memorial ceremony was also held in the Volgograd synagogue. It was decided to install a memorial plaque with the name of the military man on the building of the Jewish school in the city.

The fighting between Israel and the Palestinian Hamas movement began on October 7 with terrorist attacks on Israeli populated areas and the firing of hundreds of rockets into Israeli territory, which also targeted civilian targets and civilians. The Israel Defense Forces responded by launching the Iron Swords military operation against Hamas, after which Israel announced a blockade of the Gaza Strip: supplies of water, food, electricity, medicine, and fuel were suspended. Thousands of people died on both sides .

On October 7, 20-year-old Reshetnikov was among the IDF servicemen - a staff sergeant in the 51st Golani Brigade unit. For several days, Shlomo was listed among the missing, but later the body of the deceased was found. The fact of death was officially confirmed by the military attaché of the Israeli Embassy in Moscow. Reshetnikov was buried in Israel's main national cemetery. Here the country's leaders and people who gave their lives for it find peace. On November 12, a gravestone was erected on Mount Herzel at the resting place of the fallen, according to the Volgograd Jewish Community page on the VKontakte social network.

Dmitry grew up in Volgograd. Here he attended the Or Avner comprehensive Jewish school. In 2017, the young man was repatriated under the Naale program. He lived alone in Israel; his mother Natalya remained in Volgograd. A memorial ceremony in honor of Reshetnikov took place in the Volgograd synagogue, about 40 people gathered, reports the publication "Notebook. Volgograd".

A plaque in memory of a native of Volgograd, Dmitry Reshetnikov, who served in the Israeli army and died as a result of hostilities in Israel, will appear on the building of a Jewish school in Volgograd, with reference to the chairman of the board of the Volgograd Jewish Community Center, Yael Ioffe, reports TASS. “The idea of ​​making a memorial plaque on the building of the Or Avner school was voiced by a classmate [of Dmitry Reshetnikov], she takes up the organization. We are talking about a memorial plaque,” ​​the agency quotes Yael Ioffe as saying.
