Slain Israeli-American hostage remembered as 'hero of Israel' at NY memorial service

Hundreds of people gathered for a memorial service in New York for American-Israeli hostage Omer Neutra, who was killed by the Hamas terror group. Neutra served as a tank platoon commander and was killed in battle with terrorists during the Hamas onslaught. His parents and brother vowed to continue calling for the release of remaining hostages and an end to the war. Neutra was one of seven American Israelis held in Gaza, four of whom are now confirmed dead. Thousands also gathered in Tel Aviv for a program dedicated to the hostages, with Neutra's voice heard in a recording from several years ago.
