After 78 Years, Fallen Israeli Soldier’s Burial Site Is Finally Found...

Yaakov Zrihan left Morocco at age 17 in 1947 to join the fight for Israel's independence. He fell in battle in 1948 during Operation Harel while escorting a supply convoy to besieged Jerusalem.

For 78 years his family had no knowledge of his burial site. Upon learning it had been located, his sister stated that the discovery meant everything and that her sons would recite Kaddish at the grave for the first time.
