JNS.org – Pinchas Menachem Prezuazman, 21, was laid to rest in Jerusalem late Sunday night. A dual American and Israeli citizen, Prezuazman was killed earlier in the day by a rocket fired from the Gaza Strip. He was killed while running to a bomb shelter in Ashdod. Prezuazman leaves behind a wife and young child.

Pinchas’s father, Haim Dov Prezuazman, said at the funeral, which was attended by hundreds of people, “I don’t understand why this is happening, but I am sure that you have fulfilled your purpose on this earth.”

“I had a great blessing to raise you for 21, nearly 22 years,” he added.

Prezuazman was the fourth person killed by the barrage of rocket fire directed against Israeli civilian centers in Ashkelon, Ashdod, Yavneh, Beersheva, Gadera, Sderot and the Gaza periphery between Friday and Sunday night.
