An Israeli military reservist has been killed in the Gaza Strip just weeks after he successfully auditioned on a TV show that picks the country’s submission for the Eurovision Song Contest, Reuters reports.

Shaul Greenglick, 26, performed on “Israel’s Rising Star” on December 3 while on furlough from his mobilisation in the Israeli bombardment of Gaza.

Dressed in army fatigues and lieutenant’s stripes, he sang a popular ballad and was green-lit for the next round in the selection process.
