Body of Missing Israeli Found in Nepal
(Ha'aretz) Noa Shpigel - The body of Or Asraf, 22, the last Israeli unaccounted for after the earthquake in Nepal last week, was discovered on Sunday following a wide-scale rescue mission in the area where he was last known to be hiking, Israeli rescue services said. Asraf's body was found by a rescue team composed of his former comrades from the IDF's elite Egoz reconnaissance unit and commanded by his unit commander after a long and intensive search in impossible conditions, the Asraf family said in a statement. Asraf fought in the 2014 Gaza war, "during which he retrieved dead and wounded comrades during the difficult battle of Shuja'iya and was himself moderately wounded in the battle."
