This morning it was allowed to publish the story of the fall of the reserve fighter, Major Netzer Shamchi in the battles in the northern Gaza Strip.
His grieving friends paid him a painful tribute on social media.
One of them wrote: "Netzer, hawk, I can't believe I'm writing about you in the past tense, it's simply unimaginable and my heart refuses to believe. You brought light to every place you entered, all the time with a smile. Every time I met you between a mission and a convoy, you always said hello and asked what The situation is my brother and all the time you could hear the happiness and joy in your voice."
"Even if you were stressed for a task, it was always with a smile on your face. Even when you were frustrated by something, they didn't see it on you. Ever since I knew you in the battalion some time ago, it was clear to me that you were made of the best material, one that was meant to lead. I am writing these things And the heart crashes, repeatedly refuses to believe. Heaven is now a better place thanks to you. Our world is less. I will miss you dear brother, very much."
Former Minister of Communications Yoaz Hendel uploaded a video from the reserves to his Facebook page in which he is seen talking to the late Netzer Simchi, with both of them in uniform. Hendel wrote: "What a heartache.
A happy scion fell today.
He penetrated my heart so much.
Netzer, we haven't finished the conversation."
Comedian Hanoch Daum wrote about the late Shamchi: A descendant of Shamchi the 14th died today in the battles in Gaza.
Graduated from Kadori school and lived in Mesad.
Netzer got married less than a year ago.
Returned from a trip to Thailand to fight.
He was a young man and we are no more."
His former teacher Tova Cohen wrote with great pain: "Shahar and Ilan Edva and the family. Unfathomable great pain, no words of consolation. My heart is broken. Year 12 before my eyes.
Conversations on a bench in the yard and a lesson in the classroom, soft eyes speak humility.
My student is a treasure boy.
Netzer Shamchi, a sensitive young boy.
The sky is crying, I'm running out of words, God, the sky is crying and crying mercilessly, I can't find the words.
The heart beats overtime and the tears flow."
