Captain Eliab Haim Tzafmus, an officer in the Combat Engineering Corps, was killed Thursday when an armored personnel carrier overturned in southern Lebanon. Three other soldiers sustained minor injuries in the incident, which occurred near the Litani River. The IDF is investigating the accident. Tzafmus, 21, from Haifa, served in the 603rd Battalion of the 7th Brigade. His funeral is scheduled for Friday at the military cemetery in Haifa. The military reported that Tzafmus was a distinguished student and a valued member of his community, remembered for his maturity and leadership qualities.
