When Druze Israeli soldier Majdi Halibi disappeared while hitchhiking back to his base in 2005, Israel’s Born to be Free Foundation, associated with the military, offered a $10 million reward for help in finding it. By the time the two Kazli brothers discovered Halibi’s remains while clearing fire-damaged land in 2012, the foundation had folded for lack of funds and in the view of the military the offer was no longer valid. But setting aside the government’s contentions that all citizens are required to report finding human remains and that rewards are for “concrete information” and not accidental stumblings, the High Court of Justice has ordered the Kazlis to receive $10 million from the government.
