In a condolence letter to the family, her commander wrote: “Unfortunately, I did not get to know Ilanit for a long time in her life, and one day she joined the battalion and had one wish to be a company clerk. At the end of each journey she waited with a slice of refreshments and cakes she had baked, and Ilanit became an influential factor that could not be ruled out without words to say what could not be said. There is no consolation for grieving bereaved parents, there is only a wish, that no more, that there will be power to bear the decree of the Lord Worrell this bitter, haunting us and beat individuals indiscriminately. ” Her family published a booklet in her memory, including her life history and things in her memory
