Thank-You, for this wonderful story. i am so glad his parents finally know what happened or at least that he really is dead. My condolences are with them at this time.

Kelly, at least the Halabis can finally mourn their loss after not knowing what happened to their son, Majdi. My concern is that he was murdered and, if so, I hope that his murderers are brought to justice.

My sympathies to the Halabis, I wish them peace.

Very sad but reinforces the fact that Israel, unlike its neighbours, takes care of its own, regardless of their religion or ethnicity.

This is such a tragic story. It is still under investigation but we are all glad his body has been found and we now know he isn't suffering any longer. But, we still grieve.

We still don't know if it was suicide or murder. The family offered a huge sum of money to anyone who had any information on where he was or where the body was (millions of dollars) and now the person who found the body is demanding the money...The investigation and its findings will not be concluded for a very long time.
