Tali, the mother of Omar Tabib, an IDF soldier who was killed yesterday by anti-tank fire from the Hamas terrorist organization, told Ran Benyamini this morning (Thursday) on "This Morning" on Channel 2: "We texted at 10 a.m. and he said he would talk to me later, but that didn't happen.". Dreaming of money falling from the sky? Don't miss: The safe opens at midnight What do you say about white chocolate with cookie crumbs? And what about a tasty snack? She shared her pain: "I accepted Omar for 21 years and that was it. He was a child with endless giving, everyone loved him, he was a child with a sense of duty." Tali said that Omar planned to be released in a month and go on a trip with his 16-year-old brother: "He loved being a fighter and planned to stay in the army and waited for a fix, and there was none. It's important to me to know what happened, even though it won't help me. I'll just suffer, it's important to me to know that he didn't suffer." She added: "I wish I could comfort other mothers and that this was the end. In 1972, they sang the song There Will Be No Wars, but it's not over.".

His mother eulogized him: "I refuse to believe that instead of congratulating you on your release, I have to sum up your life. I waited for you for six years and received you as a gift for 21 years. I did everything to protect you. You will always remain my and my father's eldest child.".
