At this time, Lieutenant Colonel Fadia Mark, an officer in Givati, who fell in battle with the terrorists in Gaza yesterday (Tuesday), about a month after his cousin Elhanan Clemensohn was killed while rescuing people during the massacre of Hamas terrorists.
His mother eulogized him: "I love you and am proud of you for what you are. You were a living, strong, brave and determined hero, you knew what you wanted to be, a soldier in the IDF, and defend the country, and you went for it with all your might. I could have prevented it from you, but I couldn't. I knew what it would do to your soul.
You were so sensitive, a guy's charm, in the best way possible."
"My dear, my sweetheart, I miss you already, that there are no words to describe, it is incomprehensible. I will wait for you to come with Father and Shlomi from the resurrection soon. That's the only thing that keeps me going and gives me strength, the knowledge that you'll come back."

Since the outbreak of the war on Simchat Torah, Padya had not been home. A week after the war and six days after his cousin Elchanan Clemensohn fell, he sent flowers home and asked them to attach a message to it, in which he wrote to his family: "Beloved family, challenging days are passing for the nation and for our family in particular. We are strong. I keep you and you in my heart. We're going to delete them."
