Participated in the Six-Day War in the battle for the liberation of Jerusalem. In the Yom Kippur War he fought in Sinai and crossed the Suez Canal. The experiences of the war left their mark on him-when he returned to his first leave, he was pale and depressed and clenched in words. With this, his connections with his unit became closer, and since then he had called for reserve service and volunteered for various operations. From his last reserve service in November 1975, he did not return. A terrible disaster suddenly put an end to his life. Gadi fell in the line of duty on the 25th of Kislev 5736 (25.11.1975). Was brought to eternal rest in his place of birth – in the cemetery in the Sea of Galilee. He left behind a wife and two children, parents and three brothers. Gad’s memory was immortalized in a corner of memory in Bnei Yehuda. The family also published a booklet in his memory entitled “In the Storm of Heaven.”
