Thousands attended the funeral on Friday of Captain Eliab Haim Tzaflemus, an officer who died the previous day when an IDF vehicle overturned in southern Lebanon. Family members delivered eulogies, remembering Tzaflemus as a beloved firstborn son and grandson who brought light and meaning to their lives. His mother, Chali, expressed disbelief and pain, asking him to send strength to their "broken" family. "How can a mother eulogize a son?" she asked, struggling to speak of him in the past tense. "Only in our country can this happen. It's incomprehensible."
Tzaflemus's partner, Inbar Koren, also spoke through tears, describing the situation as a nightmare she wished to wake from. She conveyed both anger and gratitude for their five years of "endless, pure love." Koren recalled his promises to take care of himself and return home in a week, questioning his absence. "Where are you, my love? Where?"
The military confirmed Tzaflemus's death in Lebanon earlier in the week, with the IDF Spokesperson's Unit releasing his name after it was cleared for publication.
