Vishinsky, Lior

Osnat and Shlomo’s eldest son, brother to Dana and Liron. Born on April 5, 1984 at Assaf Harofeh Medical Center in Tzrifin, Lior, a healthy and plump baby with a very good temperament, spent his baby years on Zeitlin Street in Tel Aviv. He was very interested in dinosaurs and was very interested in dinosaurs, before going to first grade, traveling with his mother to London, where he visited the nature museum and was involved in the dinosaurs exhibited at the Abu Kabir School of Nature and Environment, but it opened, and Lior began his elementary studies there. Was the inspiration for his second love – photography – his love for sport, and especially for tennis Lior beats the tennis courts of Hapoel on Rokach Street in Tel Aviv and has persisted for more than ten years, with no one who remembers his blown-up hand and the many times his rocket was thrown to the floor. Lior also studied the stage boards from an early age, and although he did not see the stage as his destiny in life, he participated in the Cameri Theater “Oz Li Li Gutz Li” in a small role and took part in the “Wright Brothers” series on educational television. He performed with his sister Dana. At the age of thirteen, Lior received an appreciation certificate from the Ramat Gan police force for his vigilance, resourcefulness and good citizenship, which he discovered helped the police capture suspects. In high school, Lior began ninth grade at the ORT Technicom high school in Givatayim, specializing in computers. He finished his first year with a “commendable” remark on the certificate. So was the next year, but this trend did not last long. The change that took place in Lior related to the fact that he was a plump, bespectacled boy who felt very comfortable in the kitchen, loved to eat and was very creative in preparing pita bread. He liked to spoil his sister Dana and occasionally surprised her with school-bought sandwiches. But Lior loves aesthetics and was concerned about his appearance and the change did not come too late. At the age of sixteen, he decided, and he did, shed many pounds, changed his glasses in contact lenses, began with sit-ups and physical fitness exercises, kept his newly cut shape firmly and became a destroyer at this stage of his life. He always insisted that he knew how to fall and roll off the motorcycle during a ride, while he was still in the car. In fact, Lior had a few accidents with the motorcycle in which he was lucky enough to get hurt Lior, a diligent child, liked to be independent from a very young age and understood that the key to independence, apart from the mobility that was possible with the motorcycle, was money in his pocket. He served as a chef’s assistant in a restaurant etc. Lior, who was surrounded by friends, spent the last two years in high school, mainly in the cinema, traveling around the country with his friends, quiet evenings at a friend’s house or other. He wrapped his daily life in the music he loved and accompanied him sometimes with crazy violins, the banging of the thunderous basses far from his room. Lior had a window open to a world he did not know, and there was an uncontrollable need to reduce the gap created in those dark years. Indeed, as an Amok woman, he has made the use of time a supreme value. Lior was lateSleepy and late to get up, and the task of getting him to school became impossible. Prior to joining the army, Lior traveled with his father and sister to London for a journey of consolidation, recreation and disintegration. The highlight of the trip was a visit to a special world exhibition on the human body. Lior spent hours at the museum and refused to part with the impressive display. On 3 December 2002, when he was about eighteen and a half years old, Lior separated from his parents, from his sister to whom he was bound by ties and friends, and boarded the bus that led him to the army base. A class commanders course, and was a candidate for officers’ course. Lior decided that only operational activity can give him satisfaction and enjoyment of military service and therefore insisted and even managed to get accepted into the elite unit of the “Tunnel Team”. This team served in a base in the southern Gaza Strip and carried out sorties into the Philadelphi route – the border area separating Israel, Egypt and the Palestinian Authority, separating Rafah from Palestinian territory and the city of Rafah in Egyptian territory. The main task of the tunnel team was to locate and destroy tunnels dug by the terrorists under the axis to smuggle weapons and weapons. The team, headed by Captain Aviv Hakani, engaged in operational activity against the tunnel threat and acted at high risk, while dealing with a variety of threats, including placing explosive charges, firing anti-tank missiles, throwing grenades and sniping from many short range targets. Only twelve soldiers required special and varied skills, such as hard physical work, teamwork, improvisational ability, quick and new thought, determination and courage, the very discovery of the tunnels and the stopping of explosives and weapons from reaching their targets – – They meant saving lives, Lior loved freedom and self “Someone has to do this job,” he often said with flashing eyes On May 12, 2004 at 4:30 PM Lior called Lior From the army, he told us enthusiastically that he had found a motorcycle, 500 cc, exactly as he wanted. From the army he ran phone calls and concluded that he would be saved until he returned home. That was Lior – stubborn and stubborn. When he wanted something, it should have been yesterday. He said goodbye to his parents by saying that he had to go for a “short ride” and that they would talk later. Toward six in the evening, the tunnel crew was called to the Philadelphi route. Alarms and intelligence information indicated that there was a tunnel near the “thermal” post on the road, and the crew set off on its way to the site to locate the tunnel and destroy it. On his way to carry out the mission, the armored personnel carrier and the tunnel crew received a direct hit by an RPG missile that suddenly destroyed the life of Sergeant First Sergeant Lior Vishinsky and the lives of his four friends – Captain Aviv Hakani, , First Sergeant Ayman Gadir and Sergeant Elad Cohen Immediately after the disaster, IDF forces began to take control of the neighborhoods close to the site of the explosion in the city of Rafah, in order to enable the search for the remains of soldiers and armored personnel carriers.
