  1. This is doubly painful for the family. Levaya and shiva are crucial elements in having the family come to terms with the death with the support of families and friends. Not to have a levaya or a shiva deprives the family of that help. I hope that people will nevertheless show the same amount of support and grief as they would do in other cases of fallen soldiers.

  3. They may not have to sit shiva for him, but they will grieve for him for years to come. My heart goes out to them and all the families of fallen soldiers. May Hashem comfort them all among the mourners of Tzion and Yerushalayim.
