Former IDF soldier killed in paragliding accident during Colombia trip

A discharged IDF soldier was killed in a fatal paragliding accident while traveling in the city of Medellín, Colombia.

After the tragic news, the Chabad updates site reported that the city's Chabad emissary, Rabbi Levi Vanunu, in close cooperation with the Israeli Embassy there, is working around the clock with local authorities.

The relevant authorities have begun efforts to complete the required bureaucratic procedures and ensure that his body is returned for burial in Israel as soon as possible.

Chabad in contact with killed Israeli's family

The Chabad emissary is in continuous contact with the bereaved family and is accompanying them during this difficult time.

According to Ynet, the former soldier was 23.

Ynet also reported that the local guide accompanying the discharged soldier had been seriously injured during the same paragliding accident, which likely occurred due to strong winds in the area.
