Ariel was named after his great-grandfather, Leo (Eliezer-Leiser), who perished in the Holocaust with most of his family. After completing six years of study at the Moriah State Religious Elementary School in Tel Aviv, Ariel continued to attend the Bar-Ilan high school in the city, where he completed his studies and received his matriculation certificate. Since childhood he has been very active and has taken an active part in basketball and soccer. Ariel was an apprentice and subsequently a counselor in the Bnei Akiva youth movement at the Tel Aviv branch. He continued his activity in the movement for seven years and among his apprentices he was considered a very popular guide. During his high school years, he even volunteered for the Civil Guard. After graduating from high school, Ariel began his studies in the pre-military academy “Maale Ephraim” in preparation for his induction into the army. He was considered a real “morale” and was highly motivated to serve in combat. At the end of March 2003, he enlisted in the IDF and embarked on a difficult and challenging course, complete with successes and achievements, which was cut short while he was in basic training, Company) in Battalion 53 – the “Sufa” battalion; He then went on to a course for tank commanders at the Shezafon base, which at the end of which he was appointed commander of a squad of recruits at the Armored Corps School in Be’er Sheva. Ariel’s commanders knew how to evaluate his qualities and abilities, Land Cadets Course as a cadet in the “Lahav” course, and at the end of the course he continued to a battalion officers’ training course in the field of field intelligence in Tze’elim. On Friday, January 7, 2005, as he was making his way to the “Shabbat alumni” at the Ma’aleh Efrayim preparatory course where he studied, Ariel was critically injured by fire Terrorists from the ambush near the Tapuah junction in Samaria, not far from the town of Migdalim, who were also injured in the ambush: First Sergeant Yossi Atia, who was killed on the spot, and Effi Strick and Dror Oren. Ariel, who was critically injured in the head, was evacuated to Beilinson Hospital in Petah Tikva and immediately transferred to the operating room. Until the wee hours the doctors worked to save his life. Indeed, after three weeks, there was a clear improvement in his medical condition and Ariel was rehabilitated at Beit Levinstein in Ra’anana. With his special humor he even laughed at his new condition … but his recovery did not last long and Ariel was returned to the hospital. His hospitalization lasted for nine months, during which he moved between various hospitals – Beilinson in Petah Tikva, Beit Levinstein in Ra’anana, Ichilov in Tel Aviv and Sheba in Tel Hashomer. During his many months of hospitalization, he underwent about 20 difficult and complex head operations.

He was laid to rest in the military cemetery in Kiryat Shaul. Survived by parents, two brothers and a sister. The family painfully tells of Ariel, who had a wide and sensitive heart and a great love for the family and for others. His family was very important to him and at the gate of the military folder where he wrote the lesson plans there is a family picture. When he returned from the army on Fridays, he would rush to anything else to visit his mother at her place of work, and immediately afterward he would visit the home of his beloved grandmother Aviva. He often initiated a “family barbecue” and despite his great fatigue, he would buy the necessary groceries and sit down to cut the saladWishing everybody. Ariel went on to make use of the hours before the Sabbath to help volunteers from the “Good Neighbor” and would drive them to food distribution stations for the needy. This activity is now being done as part of Ariel’s commemoration. The family and the army were Ariel’s main concern. He was proud to serve in the Israel Defense Forces and to wear the uniform, and it was important for him to share with the whole family his interesting experiences and the knowledge he acquired in the military courses. The love of giving was inherent in him, and he always made sure to help his fellow soldiers who had difficulty in learning, encouraging and supporting. Ariel was endowed with a well-developed social consciousness and was aware of any degree of ethnic or social discrimination. While he was a cadet, he even wrote to the commander of the officers’ school about what he thought was an injustice in the distribution of military salaries – although this injustice was discriminated against. Ariel often supported new immigrants, Druze soldiers and others. Keshet’s friends and friends were very comprehensive and represented all segments of the population in Israel; Many of his friends and friends – from the different frameworks until his enlistment and from his military service – visited and escorted him during his long and painful hospitalization in the various hospitals. Ariel was a charismatic and very friendly man and was considered to love the girls. His gentleness, courtesy, and manners stood out from afar. He loved to laugh and entertain and to have a lot of conversations with many people who opened their hearts to him. Ariel also took advantage of the short time he had available in the military framework, reading books: suspense books, novels, military history books and biographies of senior military leaders and officers. He loved his homeland Israel and walked along it. His great affection was in the songs of the Land of Israel. After his military service, Ariel planned to travel for a few months in New Zealand and Australia, and then intended to study veterinary medicine. A year after Ariel’s death, his father, Shlomo Shlomo, died prematurely as a result of a serious illness and was buried in the “bereaved parents” section of the Kiryat Shaul cemetery, not far from where he was buried Ariel left behind, missing friends and a missing and painful family – the void that he left will never be filled …
