Until seventh grade, Doron studied at the elementary school in the Neve Yaakov neighborhood and decided to continue his studies in a youth company, even though he was very attached to his family and especially to his younger brother Dudu. He came to Kibbutz Ein Gedi, to the Tzalon and Oded classes by Tehila and Hanan Raz. He finished high school at the six-year school on the kibbutz and received a high school diploma with very good grades. For example: Physics 3 units – very good; Chemistry 5 units – very good; Maths 4 units – good. Doron was very musical and loved to play guitar and harmonica, but his greatest hobbies were trips around the country and photography.

Which is frequently found in headlines. I remind everyone that she is made up of dozens of fighters, of whom Doron was one of them, performing tasks in the Gaza Strip day and night without any expense, at high risk, with great courage and devotion. .. “After they fell, Doron was promoted to sergeant. He was survived by his parents, his brother David, two sisters – Daniela and Dafna and a step-sister Moran.

Doron performed all the tasks assigned to him in a good and professional manner, while showing courage and dedication to the task. In the last operation, from which he did not return, Doron fought as a true hero, rescued wounded under fire, Haifa on the assaulting force. “Prime Minister and Minister of Defense Yitzhak Rabin wrote in a letter of condolence to the grieving family:” I did not have the right to know Doron.

The first, awarded to a combatant from the Shimshon unit, states: “Doron rescued his commander, who was injured during the battle, and assumed command of the force, at great risk to himself.” On the thirtieth day of the fall, the kibbutz and the family took out a booklet in his memory containing things and memories about him and letters he wrote; In the weekly Bamahane, the Israeli soldiers’ newspaper, which was published on the occasion of Israel’s Memorial Day for the Fallen Soldiers, Doron’s battle with his friends is described in great detail.

Doron acted in a way that all of us, comrades in arms, members of the unit, the force and the commanders, expect a guy who is one of the leaders of the force to come and direct his fire toward the source of the shooting, and this is precisely what Doron did. “His family commemorated two books that he published, And the construction of a memorial room.
