[Ha'aretz] Barak Ravid - A march held last Friday near Ra'anana in memory of British-born Major Benji Hillman, a special forces officer killed in the Second Lebanon War, drew some 1,500 participants. It was also aimed to raise funds to set up Benji's House, a hostel that will offer a home to dozens of soldiers whose families live abroad. Hillman was a company commander in Egoz, a special forces unit of the Golani Brigade. On July 20, 2006, he led his troops into Maroun al-Ras, where Hillman and three of his soldiers were killed.
