Even as a child, Liron showed his bright, smiling and conversational eyes and charming smile that captivated everyone who saw him. These were soon his hallmarks. Due to the father’s service in the regular army, the family was forced to move frequently. In 1981 the family moved to Bat Yam and a year later returned to Safed for two years. Between 1984 and 1986 the family lived in Tiberias. When Liron was six years old, his sister Shimrit was born and his happiness was boundless. Liron went to her cradle all the time to check that she was alive and breathing, and waited for her to wake up so that he could play and amuse her. In the summer of 1986, the family moved to Bat Yam, where he studied at the Hayovel Elementary School. Even then he had the love of man, his sensitivity to others, his integrity and his decency. In his studies, Liron made a distinction and excelled in all subjects. On his return from school, he used to share his mother’s anger at cases in which Elba was teaching wrongly to a student, or about a friend who was not telling the truth. In 1992 his sister Maayan was born, the youngest child in the family. Liron was 12 years old, the eldest son of the house, and due to the father’s absence, he functioned as a man in the house and became his sisters as a kind of father. While his mother was absent from the house, he did not agree that a babysitter would protect his sisters, insisting: “I am the older brother and it is my duty and my right to protect my sisters … I do not want a stranger to do my job …” while relinquishing games and entertainment with his friends. He studied ninth and tenth grades at the Ramot high school in Bat Yam. In 1996 the family moved to Karkur. This time the transition was very difficult socially, especially for Liron, who had already begun his studies in 11th grade because of his shyness and modesty, and his timidity, his separation from his friends in Bat Yam and especially from his best friend Eldad. In the eleventh and twelfth grades, Liron studied at the agricultural school in Pardes Hannah, where Liron chose to study in a sociological-criminological course, and after his fall, his parents discovered that during this period Liron began to write poems for the drawer. The difficulty of separating members from Bat Yam and Eldad in particular, and the difficulty of being absorbed into a cohesive group that has grown and studied together since the first grade. Liron, who was a devotee of sincerity and honesty, was very fond of music, of all kinds and styles, focusing on the meaning and content of the songs, He believed that above all human beings should be honest, fair, honest, and truthful, and that his faith was expressed in great intensity in the poems he wrote, which were found after his fall. What you think. / And do not confuse words / and play games with them “…” to others words I say / and I’m already lying / now I’m Shem / But – deep down – I really screams. ” At the end of the eleventh grade, a positive change took place, and Liron was enrolled in a combat fitness course in preparation for the Gadna army. He knew a group of wonderful boys, a supportive, encouraging and encouraging group, and everyone was very motivated to serve in the combat force. Soon Liron found his place, joined the group and became one of them. This is how the absorption crisis has passed. Liron began to flourish and went out with the wonderful group for a pre-conscription trip to Paris and Amsterdam, a trip that Lyron, in his characteristic way, insisted on paying his money toNot to burden his parents. These ten days were the happiest days for him. Liron wanted with all his might to enlist in the Golani Brigade and serve in Lebanon, and expressed his strong desire for his songs. Despite his knowledge that the danger in Lebanon is seven times greater, he argued with great fervor: “Everyone must give his homeland everything, if we do not do it, who will do for us?” However, the medical tests at the induction center revealed knee problems that led to a 72-year-old combat, but without the possibility of serving in the infantry, Liron was very disappointed, and tried to raise his profile, but to no avail.One morning he heard of an incident in Lebanon during which he was killed A soldier from the Armored Corps, and at the same time a group of four classmates who wanted to serve in the Armored Corps began to gather, and then he made the decision in his heart, telling his parents about his decision to serve in the Armored Corps.

At the graduation ceremony, Liron was chosen as an exemplary soldier, emphasizing that the choice was all of his colleagues in the company, and it was only natural that Liron excelled in his friends and not in his superiors. “Liron was disappointed that the company was not intended to immigrate to Lebanon, and that the thought that he might not get to serve in Lebanon bothered him very much. In Lebanon, and even if it is only for one day, because we were sent to fortifications. “At the end of the employment, Liron was chosen as an outstanding soldier and received a certificate of appreciation The commander of the divisional brigade, whose commanders and colleagues say that beyond the way the mission was carried out, Liron stood out in his fair and respectful attitude toward the Palestinians, and found the golden path and carried out his duties while safeguarding human dignity as a human being.Even the Palestinians appreciated Liron and liked him because of his fair and respectful approach During his short and short vacations at home, Liron spent more time with his family, insisting that all members of the family spend “quality time” together. During this period, the song “Nothing Else Matters” was especially popular. Liron insisted on the meaning of the song, and realized that the song calls on man to “unload the yoke”, to free himself from the conventions of society, to be himself and to make his heart desired. In Liron’s heart, the decision to change changed, to be himself without too much consideration for convention, and indeed a change took place that was also reflected in the choice of his clothes. Liron was very careful not to disappoint his parents. He asked them to strengthen, a kind of ‘approval’, to change and fight for the righteousness of his path and his faith. His parents agreed with him that each person must find his own way, personality and ability, while ensuring that it will never be at the expense of others. His comrades in the company say that Liron was the heart and soul of the entire company. With his great honesty and integrity, with his endless devotion to his comrades and company, Liron became a symbol. In times of crisis there was only one look in his bright eyes and his captivating smile to cheer everyone up. According to them, it was in this smile, to give them the strength to overcome a crisis, to forget and move on with greater vigor. His commanders also helped him and his natural leadership. He was often consulted and asked what he thought. They knew that they would hear only the truth, objective opinion without bias. He became the mediator between the commanders and the soldiers. The battalion commander tried to convince him to go to a command course, but Liron refused with all due force because he was afraid he would not return to the company and his friends,Officers. Despite the back problems that continued to bother him, he did not give up to Yaron and did not make assumptions and continued to fulfill his role and even gave help to other teams. In July 2000, the battalion was promoted to infantry in the southern Golan heights, and due to its nature and in view of its back problems, Liron was chosen to be in the company’s driver’s head. The company was preparing to go up to the Mount Dov section with the tanks. Liron, who was close to the company commander, understood that there was a problem of command and saw that all his old friends were assigned to the tanks. The company commander refused at first, and made it clear to Liron that he needed him very much as he did, and Liron did not respond to him, and so Liron returned to the tanks, volunteering again as usual, this time to his death. ) Was shot in the military cemetery in Pardes Hannah and left behind his parents and two sisters, Shimrit and Maayan, and the words of a poem he wrote were engraved on his grave: “Like a fish Out of the water, like a bird without wings, we are without you and always think about you. “In a letter of condolence to the family, the chief of staff writes:” Liron was an exemplary soldier who loved his company and his military service.
