And adds his cousin, Oded: “His smiling blue eyes were so inquisitive, just like his name.” Until his enlistment in the IDF, Eran studied psychometric tests, worked as a guard at security companies and in every job he had, and he was very happy to be close to people and not to be idle at home until the induction. In March 2003 he was drafted into the IDF, the Armored Corps, and at the end of basic training he fulfilled his dream and successfully completed a combat paramedics course.On the 12th of Cheshvan 5764 (6.11.2003) Eran fell during his service at the age of nineteen.
