The funeral of Josh Boone, a reserve soldier who served 725 days and died on Monday in tragic circumstances, will be held today (Thursday) at 14:30 at the New Cemetery in Beersheba.

Although he was not under an active service order, his relatives demanded in the Knesset that he be brought for burial in a military cemetery and be recognized as a fallen IDF soldier.

Bon's friends, who say he was a lone soldier and suffered from psychlogical disorders, are asking the public to attend the funeral.
