May his soul be bound in the bundle of life

Yehonatan Yaakov Einhoren Hay"d

Born on the 21^st of Sivan 1984

Killed on the 7^th of Av 2006

Yehonatan was born in Har Bracha as the first-born to his parents, David and Revital.

During his childhood, he moved with his parents all over the country according where his father, who was serving in the air force, was based, and this formed the foundation of his self-sacrifice for the People and Land of Israel from the very beginning.

When his family settled in the moshav of Gimzo, Yehonatan started second grade in the Shalhevet School in Shaalbim and in Yad Binyamin in middle school. From there he went on to learn in the Science Yeshiva high school in Rishon L'Zion. Yehonatan took his next steps in the Ayelet HaShachar yeshiva in Eilat and after that in the pre-army preparatory course in Atzmona. Yehonatan enlisted in the paratroopers and at the end of the "Orev" track, he asked to transfer to serve as a fighter in the regiments.
During his military service, he was in action in Shechem and Hebron. During the Second Lebanon War, Yehonatan and his friends fought in the B'eita-A Shaab battle and got to a highly-located building that dominated the town. Two enemy anti-tank missiles hit the house and caused losses amongst the top military men there. Yehonatan, who took command, ran from one firing position to the next to see how to proceed until he met his death by a third anti-tank missile – a hit by shrapnel exactly in the place in which he put on his Tefillin – both on the head and on his arm.

May his soul be bound up in the bundle of life.

Noam Yaakov Meirson hay'd

Born on the 12^th of Tammuz 1983

Killed on the 13^th of Av 2006

Noam was born in Jerusalem, to his father, Haim and his mother, Gila. He learnt in the Horev elementary and middle school and after that learnt in the yeshiva high school in Mizpeh Ramon.

After finishing his studies, he went to learn in the Ayelet HaShachar yeshiva in Eilat for 6 years. During his army service, he served as a tank driver in Brigade 7, Battalion 82 and finished the tank commanders' course.

Noam received the emergency call-up for the Lebanon War on the eve of Tisha B'Av when he was in Eilat, preparing for his wedding. When he got to his unit, he found out that the loader signaler (of bombs) of the leading forces in another company was sick and couldn't function. Noam was called upon to replace him, as he was a tank commander and was familiar with all the functions of the tank. A situation was created in which Noam presented himself at the head of the procession in the first tank of the force that was moving in the Binat Jabbal area. Noam and the company commander were exposed in the tank as part of leading the force and as soon as the anti- tank rocket hit the tank, they were instantly injured. The tank itself was not damaged apart from one of the caterpillar tracks which prevented the tank from moving. The woodland area prevented air aid from arriving and therefore a group of fighters had to secure the tank in an inferior area for more than 36 hours until they were rescued.

Noam was a pleasant person – a man with a big smile who always aimed for the truth with all his strength and left an enormous hole in the heart of all who knew him.

May his soul be bound with the bundle of life

Shmuel Akiva Wiess Hay"d

Born on 21st of Av 1982

Killed on 26^th of Nissan 2006

Shmuel was born in Elon Moreh to his parents Rabbi Arieh and Tzipora.

At the age of 6, his family moved to Kiryat Arba where he learnt in the Talmud Torah. He was a member of the Ariel youth movement and continued to the local yeshiva high school in 7^th and 8^th grades.

In 9^th grade he moved to Yashlatz in Jerusalem in which he stood out in his special personality – pleasant, modest, honest and full of love of Torah, together with social commitment and taking responsibility even for those younger than him.

After finishing high school, Shmuel went to learn in the Ayelet HaShachar yeshiva in Eilat where he came to the realization that "Torah should be learnt seriously" and as he didn't yet feel ready for this, he chose to enlist in the IDF, where he served in Regiment 51 of Golani as a combat medic.

During the "Protective Edge" campaign in Jenin, where he was fighting with his battalion, Shmuel was hit by an Arab sniper in one of the passageways in the refugee camp while running to give medical help to a friend who was injured. Shmuel received a posthumous citation of bravery for this.
