JERUSALEM (VINnews) – Dozens of family members, friends and residents gathered Sunday to accompany 18-year-old Yehuda Shmuel Sherman, of blessed memory, to his burial after he was killed in a vehicular ramming attack near Homesh on Shabbat.

The funeral procession began in the early afternoon at the Shuva Israel farm, a site established by his brother Daniel in memory of fallen comrades. The location, built in the wake of loss, served as the first stop in a farewell marked by grief and determination.

Sherman is survived by his parents, Yehoshua and Sima, and six siblings. His brother Daniel, who was with him during the attack, sustained moderate injuries.

Speaking from his hospital bed, Daniel described noticing a white pickup truck stopped along the road as he descended a steep stretch. After passing it, he said the vehicle turned around, pursued him, accelerated, and struck near a sharp curve along a cliff, causing him to be thrown from the road.

He said he lost consciousness for several minutes before regaining awareness at the bottom of the cliff amid the wreckage. Despite his injuries, he said he immediately tried to reach his brother.

After calling out and receiving no response, Daniel said he managed to reach him and attempted to assist while he was still breathing.

He also said people from a nearby village arrived at the scene and threw stones as the situation unfolded.

Daniel was able to call for help, and security and rescue forces reached the site under difficult terrain conditions. Both brothers were evacuated to a hospital, where Yehuda Shmuel was later pronounced dead.

Later, family and friends gathered again at the Shuva Israel farm, where they bid farewell in an emotional scene marked by song and mourning.
