Son of Pnina and Binyamin. Born on 28.4.1968 in Ramat Hasharon, Ziv attended the Ussishkin Elementary School, the Kalman Junior High School, and the Ramat Hasharon High School, where he was a spectacular child – strong, erect and broad in the shoulders A smart and sensitive child, a witty and humorous man, a friendly and friendly person, surrounded by a group of friends and friends, an excellent athlete and a young player who played handball, and was one of the best players in the Ramat Hasharon sports team. In October 1986 Ziv was recruited to serve in the Israel Defense Forces. He began his military career in elite units: first in an aviation course and later in the naval commando. In the framework of the naval commando unit, he underwent infantry training, a paratroop course and a squadron commander course, at the end of which he was awarded the rank of corporal, and after many doubts Ziv decided to leave the naval commando unit and was sent to serve in the Commanders’ And training. Ziv’s commanders recommended that he go to officer’s office and that Ziv did indeed decide whether to continue his military career for another year. During this period, the difficult events in the Gaza Strip intensified and this unit often left for operational activities in the area. In the drawer of Ziv is a poem expressing his fears about military service: “The water is cold, he said, the water is cold, he came back, and when his Lev was broken, everything suddenly ended …” The water is painted red, the cold is replaced by a little heat, He was thrown into the depths of the past – Then a lost hand took him, his lips had a mute laugh and a halo of diluted blood, in its poor pink color … The water was warm now, he said again and again, but the boy was lost in the days, “He said. On the 28th of Adar 5748 (February 28, 1988) Ziv fell in the line of duty. He died in a road accident during a military operation in the area. He was laid to rest in the military cemetery in Kiryat Shaul. Survived by his parents and three brothers – Yehuda, Or and Noam. In a letter of condolence to the bereaved family, his commander wrote: “Ziv spent a short time in the battalion, after serving in other elite units, during which time he was able to leave his mark on the unit, demonstrating his peace of mind, his integrity and his friendly behavior. It is clear to me that you can count on him and that his responses will be reasonable and reasonable … Ziv was a person of very high personal qualities … “
