Volunteers helped gravediggers at Israel's main military cemetery on Wednesday as burials began for soldiers slain in the assault on Israel by Hamas gunmen from the Gaza Strip.
Using shovels and a mechanical digger, they scooped out earth to prepare plots for the soldiers' final resting place at Mount Herzl National Cemetery.
"I decided that I'm going to do something for the people of israel, for the troops, for God Almighty...and dig a grave for a sacred soldier," he told Reuters.
