IsraelNationalNews is reporting that boys learning in a yeshiva near the crash-site where Assaf Ramon's plane came down, photographed his plane burning but "then refused to sell the exclusive photos so as not to desecrate the dead or offend the family."
When the news got out that the boys had exclusive pictures, news agencies offered the boys thousands of shekels.
"When the boys realized that an Air Force pilot had been killed, they consulted with their Rosh Yeshiva (rabbinical dean), Rabbi Amichai Chazan. He explained to them the importance of behaving ethically in such a situation.
The boys understood his message, and refused to sell. "I don't want to profit from this type of situation in which a soldier dies," said one student, Nehorai Hadad. Instead of selling the pictures, the boys gave the photos to the army personnel investigating the crash – and dedicated their evening's Torah study in memory of Assaf ben [son of] Ilan and Rona Ramon."
