Wednesday (October 11), 00:00 at night, knocking on the door of the Castiel family's home in Beit Shemesh - this is how the family's life changed in an instant, when the city officer informed them of the death of their son, First Sergeant Daniel Castiel, z"l, in the War of "Iron Ruins".

Castiel, a soldier in the Magellan unit of the commando brigade, was drafted into the reserves on October 11. He fell in an encounter with terrorists at Zikim Beach on October <>, while guarding his crew and charging first in the line of fire.
Speaking to his family, they said, "Daniel was a great person. A good person. He always wanted the success of his siblings, family and parents. He was very humble and always took care of everyone's success."
Three days before he was killed, Daniel left his brother, who also serves in a combat unit, a chilling recording: "You don't focus on what happened, who will be, and don't listen to stories, don't watch videos, it's not good for the soul."
