He read a lot, and his favorite writers were Paul Auster, Etgar Keret, Stephen Hawking, George Orwell. Idan enlisted in the IDF at the end of November 1994. He enlisted in the special intelligence unit of the Northern Command’s Gaash unit. In this framework, he underwent a combat track and professional courses in the field of intelligence. His family says that in his briefcase there was always one or two reading books and a box with twenty-five discs containing his favorite music. On army vacations he made sure to watch his favorite TV shows, visit music stores and enjoy McDonald’s meals. “I met Idan for the first time when, as a young lieutenant colonel, I received the command of ‘Team Eight,’ a good and well-formed team whose integration was not difficult. One of those social and professional leaders was Idan. Over a period of almost a year, the team, Idan and I, went through periods of training, periods of hard work and playing at the pumpkin outpost, and together we participated in dangerous activities in Lebanon. “Idan was one of the planners and organizers of the team’s well-known corruption dinners … A person with a strong presence, sharp thinking, cynical cynicism … “. “Idan was a good friend for me, and he helped us in every situation and every moment, he was the force that drove the team behind, and he was the person we relied on in terms of calculating departures, reserves and food. He was one of those who in one word, in the end, decide the discussion and give it a new dimension that no one pays attention to. ” On the evening of 28 February 1997, the helicopter disaster occurred when two Yasur helicopters collided over Moshav Shear Yashuv. The seventy-three fighters, who made their way to operational activity in Lebanon, were killed, including Idan. He was twenty-one years old when he fell.

It is hard for me to say goodbye to the quiet moments of those days when I woke him at dawn for his return to the unit, so afraid he would not be late. He wanted to sleep for five more minutes and I sat quietly next to him and looked at the change that had taken place since his induction … I looked at the muscular man who covered the softness of his child. Learned to understand the difficult need for his presence in Lebanon, knew the importance of his role and agreed to accept it, even though his dream before enlistment was to serve in the ministry He was a mathematician in his blood and rational in his way of life, and anyone who knew Idan in his life knows that Idan would never have agreed to accept injustice, He would fight for the tiniest of things, when he felt that his righteousness had been lost, he would have fought even when he knew that his chances of winning were slim and he was prepared to pay a personal price in exchange for this war. ” His sister, Natalie, wrote: “It’s a story about a child, a boy who happened to be born with a doll, actually Bob, who was attached to him like a foot or another hand. One day, without warning, the birds were gone, with the flowers and the sun, too, the rain was falling and it was cold, so cold that it hurt them, Lobov and the boy. So if you see a child connected to a string walking in the street, tell him that his Bob misses him. “
