Maj. (Res.) Eyal Avnion (25) z”l
A deputy company commander in the 121st Battalion of the 8th Armored Brigade, Eyal fell in battle in Gaza on July 1st, 2024. He was a promising incoming Psychology & Business Administration student from Hod Hasharon.
He was eulogized at the funeral by family and friends as someone who made everyone smile and who succeeded in everything he tried. “He was successful. Everything he touched turned to gold. His military service is a story in itself— he enlisted in Shayetet 13. He trained for it throughout his pre-army preparation program, barely sleeping at night, constantly training. It was his greatest goal. In general, in the army, his mission was to contribute to the country, to give back to the place where he lived and where he built his life.”
