Major Itamar Elharar, an officer in the Walnut unit who was killed last night in the tragic shooting accident in the Jordan Valley, was laid to rest today (Thursday) in the military section of the Kiryat Malachi cemetery.
Moshiko Elharar, Elharar’s cousin, told of his cousin earlier in an interview here Monday and said he has no anger at the soldier who fired the deadly bullet: “We have so little to do, the anger will do nothing. The loss is a loss. What I have To do this is to just hug the soldier who fired those bullets and hug the family of the other officer who was killed, “he said.
“Itamar was the best of the best, since he was a child he was a special, dominant child, with a golden heart, everyone who needed help Itamar was the first to help. Being a funny child all the time would pick us up and even in the most difficult moments,” Moshiko said.
“I’ll tell you a little bit about myself that eight months ago I lost my wife, and Itamar would come every day to Shiva Petach Tikva and sit with me for hours, and tell me ‘everything you need Moshiko’ and really do it wholeheartedly and not completely honestly ‘not on the road’, really “What I need and I was not ashamed to ask him for things because it is Itamar, Itamar did everything, it is difficult for me to talk about him in the past tense, he would do everything wholeheartedly.”

Moshiko said of his military service that “Itamar was an outstanding soldier, I remember at first he had a bit of a hard time with the military framework so he would talk to me and I would tell him ‘Itamar it’s going through it’s a bit difficult’ and suddenly I saw the growth of a soldier whose commanders admired him, and I “I know his commanders and I also knew his brigadier general and it was really fun to hear things about him, it’s Itamar.”
Moshiko said that Itamar “got married about two years ago in Corona, he and his wife Or were very much waiting for August that he would go to school and they would be a little more together, he was supposed to go to study in August and was debating what to study and we have recently talked more. .
Moshiko added: “This Saturday, this is the last Saturday I saw him after a long time of not meeting, both because of the corona and because of the situation, and he probably knew he was going to say goodbye here to the people close to him.”
When asked what he thought of the incident that claimed his cousin’s life he said: “I do not speak for the family I will say what I think about the incident, I have no anger, I too was a soldier and I know how things work and how many investigations do “Such as that, and it personally hurt us the fault that was there.”
He added: “We do not know much, I can not come to any conclusion, what I have to do is just hug the soldier who fired these bullets and hug the family of the other officer killed, we have not much to do, the anger will do nothing. The loss. It is a loss, “he concluded.
