More than 30,000 Israelis came out today to say a final farewell to a 24-year-old volunteer soldier from California who was killed fighting Hamas militants last weekend.
Scores of soldiers dressed in the olive-green uniforms of the Israeli Defense Army wept and embraced one another at the Mount Herzl military cemetery in Jerusalem Wednesday morning during the funeral for Sgt Max Steinberg.
Steinberg, an American-Israeli dual national, is one of two American members of the IDF - the so-called 'lone soldiers' - who were killed during a skirmish in Gaza Sunday.
