Father of Fallen IDF Soldier Says Terrorists Tried To Sell Son’s Head
18th January 2024
“The terrorists, the barbarians, it’s too little to say for them, they beheaded him and took the head to Gaza,” David Tahar, whose son, Adir, was killed during the terror attacks, told an Israeli news channel. “I did everything I could. It wasn’t easy. In the end, I got a body without a head. I insisted very much with the army to see the body. They tried to explain to me that I should not see it.”
Against the urging of authorities, Tahar opened the casket when he was alone, seeing the “unrecognizable,” headless body of his son, whom he identified through dog tags and a DNA test. He added that terrorists who killed his son launched a missile and three grenades at him and abused the corpse. Tahar also said that he saw on a CT scan that his son’s body was full of shrapnel.
After he buried his son, Tahar embarked on a months-long search for the head, asking “everyone I could” for answers. In his investigation, he also found a video that showed his son’s body without the head during the attacks.
