All the objects he had bought were in the group’s colors-yellow and black; the linen, the wall clock in his room, and most of his clothes. From an early age he loved very much children and children loved him. All the children in the family joined him and loved him very much, because he spoke to them in their own language. The family used to joke with Nir and tell him that his future as kindergarten teacher is guaranteed, and he would answer: “What’s wrong with being a kindergarten teacher?” Nir was a friendly and sympathetic boy in his neighborhood. He had a good and broad heart and a pure soul. He never hurt anyone and loved to help others. In August 2002, Nir enlisted in the IDF, completed his basic training and was an outstanding soldier in advanced training, and served in the Shaked Battalion of the Givati Brigade, never complaining about difficulties, always accepting everything easily and doing everything in the best possible way. Soon Nir was sent to a squad commanders’ course and successfully completed it. Was intended for an officers’ course, but chose not to attend the course. He did most of his military service in Gaza as a squad commander. His soldiers loved him very much and he loved them and always cared for them.

It was the last time he was at his parents’ house. A week later, on Wednesday, 22 September 2004, Nir returned to the post. His mother asked him to look after himself and he reassured her that there was no need to worry. At 13:00, Nir called his mother and told her that he had arrived at the post and that everything was fine. It was their last conversation. That same evening, Nir was appointed commander of the outpost and was in the war room together with Israel Lotte. On Thursday morning, on Thursday, September 23, 2004, two terrorists infiltrated the Morag outpost.

When I was told about Nir’s death, I did not feel anything and did not believe it really happened, because I did not want to believe it. “When I think of Nir, I remember the dimples in his smile (he always smiled). My family and I hope with all our hearts that there will be no more families to suffer. “Nir joined the Shaked Battalion of the Givati Brigade, was trained as a combat soldier and excelled in his role as a squad commander in the course of November 2002. Recently, Nir successfully completed the prestigious, To serve as a platoon sergeant in the Spear Company. Nir was a courageous man and a determined soldier who showed devotion to every mission he carried out. The high professionalism that characterized him was uncompromising. Nir was proud to serve as a combat soldier and as a commander in the Givati Brigade, and it is evident that he is willing to contribute and assist in every company commander, Capt. Navot. Nir, a man who is brave and loves his soldiers, always volunteers for every mission. Andrei told me: “It’s so much fun for me to have a Staff Sergeant, how much he helps me, what a burden he takes from me.” Nir, you came to the company and very muchYou came into the sergeant like a stormy wind, you did your job well, always neat, disciplined, neither complaining nor crying and always willing to help. Nir salutes you for having been, to protect us from above. “Nir, how do you put what we feel and think about a paper like this just next to such a big man like you? How can one tell about the concern for the soldiers and the rest of the company’s staff? You were a great commander, one whom everyone loves and trusts, and this is a great virtue that not everyone accepts. We will not forget that when it was hard and there was pressure, you came and told us, ‘Leave it, it’s on me, I’m taking care of it.’ And how in the short time you were in the company you became like a real brother. We’ll never forget you. “Hagai, Nir’s friend from basic training, says:” Nir was with me in basic training and most of all he was a friend. Nir was a friend of everyone and united us as a single department. Nir was a soldier who was easy to admire and love. His way of thinking and his actions brought him to what he was, an excellent soldier, an excellent commander and a best friend to ask for. I parted from Nir when he went to the commanders’ course, and we continued to be in touch by telephone. He was a commander in the company of November 2002 and I was on a company track. One day he telephoned me and said he was debating whether to get to be a commander in our company in the battalion or be a commander in the Givati hospital. I really wanted him to come to us, because I wanted to go back to the days when we were together in basic training and indeed he came to us at the military base and I can only say that I am proud of Nir, who was a true friend and soldier worthy of admiration and appreciation. Doron, Nir’s subordinate, writes about him: “Nir was a friend and a commander who knew how to combine the two – a beloved friend and an esteemed commander, a real poisoner (Betar, Givati). He was a commander in my company when he first boarded the line. “Avi writes to Nir’s parents:” Nir was one of the most valued people in the company both as a person and as a commander. It was always possible to come to him with problems. He would always listen even if he was busy and stressed. He was also a great man in the company of November 2002 and in the battalion company, which I am happy to have met and to serve alongside, and I thank you parents for this wonderful child. Shlomo, a patrol commander, writes: “I met Nir after I got on the line (after eight months in the army). In the market of the line, the shooting and the activity, I was looking for a person to talk, to understand, and then I met Nir. Nir came to the company as a young platoon commander in November 2002. Nir was different from the rest of the commanders, he was open, reliable, happy, it was fun to be in. I and Nir immediately found common points of discussion, even though we might know the same girl. I came to the Ruba’a. After about two months Nir arrived. I met him again in the battalion before the battalion commander’s call and he told me he wanted to go to the company only, and I worked alongside him as a sergeant in front of a sergeant, a soldier in front of a soldier, a commander in front of a commander and most importantly a friend against a friend. I envied you for being so good, successful and strong, I wanted to be like you (commander, soldier, friend) I love you and love forever. ” Moshe writes: “Nir was the only person I could talk to about the thing that interests me the most about life, about football, I am a fan of Maccabi Tel Aviv and he is Beitar Jerusalem. Nir was a serious person who, apart from soccer, could talk to him about everything, he simply knew how to listen and help if necessary. Just a real person and friend. “
