It&#8217;s our 7th of October,&#8221; he added, referring to the Hamas-led terror attack on Israel that sparked the war in Gaza two years ago.<\/p>\n<p>Some family members and friends were unable to contain their sorrow during the service for Schlanger on Wednesday, speaking through tears to pay homage to the father of five, whose youngest was born just seven weeks before he was killed.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;After what happened, my biggest regret was &#8211; apart from the obvious \u2013 I could have done more to tell Eli more often how much we love him, how much I love him, how much we appreciate everything that he does and how proud we are of him,&#8221; said his father-in-law, Rabbi Yehoram Ulman.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none
