Lev, Ronen


Ronen, son of Vivian and Yosef Lev, was born in 1971 in Givatayim and grew up in Haifa. In early February 1990, Ronen enlisted in the IDF and was sent to a pilot course which he completed as an outstanding trainee. His permanent service began in February 1993 and beginning in 1994, he was an operational pilot in a squadron of F-15 aircrafts. On a low-altitude training flight, storks hit his airplane, and both Ronen, and the captain with whom he was with, died in that accident. He was laid to rest in the military cemetery in Haifa. After his death, he was promoted to captain. Ronen left behind his wife, his parents, and two brothers.
