Title: Druze commando buried with honors, but not in IDF cemetery Name: Gerald Zang City: Kfar Saba State:
IT`S A SHAME THAT THE VILLIAGE DOES NOT HAVE A MILITARY CEMETARY IF THEY WANT ONE! The Soldier should have been burried in a regular military cemetary, algain, if the villiage approved, as an alternative. Knowing something about the Druze, they do not believe that the soldier is dead, but that his soul is transferred to the living and that he is still amongst them, as another person. The regular cemetaries are locked, and noone visits, except when they are honouring a soldier. HOWEVER, the people of the villiage and the wishes of the family should be respected!
