Elem was an active and active member of the youth in the moshav, and he taught them patience, patience, and help. He loved the country and its landscapes and toured and toured it, not on land in a region that did not know well and did not study its flora and fauna. When he was about to enlist, he insisted that they send him to a pre-military course, and that he was able to convince the IDF authorities to send him to the course. Eliahu was drafted into the Israel Defense Forces in mid-May 1972 and immediately assigned to the Armored Corps, where he successfully completed a portable fueling course and served as a fuel tanker driver, and he fulfilled his duties with great dedication and loyalty.

Please take my sincere sympathy for the fall of Eli. Eli served as a driver in the battalion and fell on the 14th day of the war, near the bridges on the Suez Canal.
