Zlait, Nir Nissim


Nir, son of Miriam and Yaakov Zlait, was born in 1973 in Tel Aviv. In August 1991, Nir enlisted in the IDF. At first, he was assigned to the engineering division, but due to his insistence, Nir was transferred to the Golani Brigade. After a few months of service, Nir discovered a medical problem, so he was assigned to the brigade headquarters. But this frustrated Nir, so as soon as his medical issue cleared up, he put pressure on many in order for him to return to his previous post. To his delight, he was reinstated as a combat soldier. On the 2nd of Elul (18.9.1993), Nir was killed in Lebanon when his force encountered an explosive device. After his fall, Nir was promoted to Staff Sergeant. He was buried in the Kiryat Shaul military cemetery.
