Itamar Avnon, who served in the IDF as a lone soldier, boarded the ill-fated plane from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur Thursday, in what would have been the first leg of a journey back to Australia.

He served in the paratroopers and fought in Operation Cast Lead but died in a plane crash,” his father, Dov Avnon, wrote on Facebook Thursday, according to Ynet.
