The body of Oleg Shaichat, a 20 year old IDF soldier, was found today, a week after he disappeared, buried in an olive grove between the Arab villages of Kafr Kana and Mashad in the north of Israel. According to the initial police investigation, he was abducted and then murdered for apparently nationalistic reasons.
The tragic discovery of Oleg’s body comes after his mothers heartfelt plea to return him unharmed:
“I beg you to contact me. I am prepared to pay money in return for any help that will save my boy, help my son. In the name of our family I appeal to the people who have him – return him home safe and unharmed.”
Please keep Oleg’s family in your thoughs and prayers.
