Prominent Israeli Archeologist Killed in Lebanon
(JNS-Times of Israel) Akiva Van Koningsveld - Zeev "Jabo" Ehrlich, 71, a distinguished Israeli scholar and archaeological expert on the Land of Israel, was killed by Hizbullah terrorists in Lebanon on Wednesday, along with Sgt. Gur Kehati, 20, at an archeological site - the Shrine of the Prophet Shimon in the village of Shama. Two officers were wounded in the same incident. Heritage Minister Amichai Eliyahu said Erlich was "71-years-old with the energy of a 17-year-old teenager. He had a story for every rock. History for every path. A bible in one pocket, a map in another."
