God bless your soul. Thank you for protecting Israel freedom and democracy! Your spirit will live forever and your light will be in our hearts for eternity!!

Dear family of Ahmad: I have no words that could make you feel better. I’m just going to say that you should feel proud of him, and that his memory will always prevail. He didn’t die in vain. He died to provide to his baby daughter, a bright future in Israel. Please let your child know that her dad was a true hero. I hope you can find comfort in my words and in knowing that all the people of Israel are grateful for him and for all the soldiers who have given their lives to preserve beautiful Israel. Am Israel Hai!!

My name is Lazar Jammal from the country of Panama. Yesterday I attended the Yom Ha zikaron ceremony and each person recieved a card of a fallen soldier, I recieved the card of Maj. Shay Shamriz Z”L. Looking at his face with a smile that capture my heart, I read about him that Shay was born brave and fell brave. I would like to give a big hug to the family and may you never know sorrow again.

Dear Tzor family,
I am sorry for the loss of your husband and father. His bravery and heroism will not be forgotten. May his memory be for a blessing.

We cannot conceive of your pain at the loss of your beautiful daughter. Just looking at her picture, her beautiful smile and bright eyes, we feel a terrible loss. Omer Sarah Benjo is a beauty, inside and out. We will remember her and honor her memory with all of our heart. We will think of her on Yom Hazikaron and every time we think about Israel. We hope that you may somehow find solace and keep going as she no doubt would want.

We live in the US and have a daughter in Tazpit on the Lebanese border. Our heart aches for those who have lost daughters and son defending Israel.

May Omer Sarah Benjo’s name be for a blessing!
