How Lior lived
Lior, son of Sarit Siye and Doron, brother to Hila, Tal, and Yael, grew up in Rishon LeZion and served in the combat company of the 932nd Battalion, Nahal Brigade. Lior enlisted full of motivation and was awarded company excellence during his service. He fought with devotion and saw it as a privilege to defend the land. He documented the war in a journal he wrote and illustrated, with daily drawings. A week before his discharge, he fell in an encounter during an operation near Shifa Hospital. He was 21 years old when he fell.
