Hundreds of people arrived Friday morning to the funeral procession of Yehuda Dimentman, who was shot and murdered last night in a terror attack whilst leaving the town of Homesh.
Hundreds of civilians, Knesset members, rabbis and public figures are expected to attend the funeral. Among the MKs attending are Itamar Ben Gvir (Otzma Yehudit), Orit Strock (Religious Zionism), Simcha Rothman (Religious Zionism), and Nir Barkat (Likud).
The funeral procession left Homesh at 9 a.m.
After the eulogies, there will be a stop at the murder scene and from there the funeral procession will continue to Jerusalem and the victim will come to rest in his final resting place on Har Hamenuchot.
Rabbi Elishama Cohen, dean of the Homesh yeshiva, eulogized Dimentman, who was his student, saying, "Homesh will remain forever. Homesh will become stronger. The mark that Yehuda left on the yeshiva here will remain forever. Together we will grow, together will will develop. May we see the fulfillment of the verse, 'For He will avenge the blood of His servants, inflict revenge upon His adversaries, and appease His land [and] His people.'" (Deuteronomy 32:43)
Dimentman, 25, was shot and killed by a terrorist Thursday evening. Two others were wounded in the attack.
He lived in Shavei Shomron and was a student at the Homesh yeshiva. He is survived by his wife and one-year-old child.
