Mitzpe Jericho – Oded Hamdi, a 19-year old yeshiva student, was killed in a trailer fire shortly after midnight on Friday in Mitzpe Jericho, near Jerusalem.

His funeral will be held at 1PM in Netanya today (Friday).

Moshe Eyal, a spokesman for Mitzpe Jericho, told Arutz Sheva that Hamdi saw the fire and alerted his friends who escaped from the windows, “Once they realized he did not get out with them, they called friends and entered the burning caravan and brought him out, but he was already unconscious and was taken to the hospital, where he died.”

Police are investigating the circumstances of the fire, noting they are examining the possibility the fire was started by a heater that may have tipped over in the trailer.

Two other students were injured in the blaze.
