Tomorrow the family will mark the 12th anniversary of the Carmel disaster, in which they lost their beloved younger brother, who was on the cadet bus that made its way to the "Damon" prison to evacuate its inmates due to the huge fire.
The Shavas sent their condolences to the Soysa family: "Like his brother, Yoel was killed on the way to save lives.
We stand by your side, strengthen and cherish you."
Four years earlier, the father of the family, Raphael, died as a result of a heart attack, which occurred after he was present that day at the scene of an attack in Dimona, when a terrorist detonated an explosive belt there. Raphael was not injured in the explosion, but was recognized as a victim of hostilities.
