IDF publishes name of another soldier killed on October 7
Col. Asaf Hamami was killed by Hamas terrorists on October 7, the IDF said on Saturday, approving the publication of Hamimi's name among the murdered, nearly two months after Hamas's rampage through southern Israel.
Hamimi, 41, from Kiryat Ono, was a commander in the IDF's Southern Division.
His funeral will be held on Monday, December 4, at 11:00 a.m. IST at the Kiryat Shaul Cemetery.
Petah Tikva mayor Rami Greenberg later took to FaceBook to mourn the fallen IDF commander.
"Colonel Hamami and his family recently moved to Kiryat Ono, but for years they lived in the city, and his grandmother, as well as his roots, are deeply planted in Petah Tikva," Greenberg wrote. "The story of the Hamami family is the story of the country. Colonel Hamami's grandmother, who still resides in the Ein Ganim neighborhood, lost her son in Israel's wars and now her grandson. We share in the family's profound grief. May his memory be a blessing.."
