“One who accustoms himself to joy will never fall to sadness.”

Joy
How Dolev lived
Dolev, eldest son of Yael and Yaniv, brother to Or, grew up in Netanya and served as a frontline machine gunner (Negev) in B Company “Silent Wolves,” 13th Battalion, Golani Brigade. He was known for his winning smile with two dimples, his kind heart to everyone he met, and his joyful spirit. On October 7th, after hearing from friends at Nahal Oz that terrorists had overrun the base, he insisted on joining them in battle. He was killed by a missile while volunteering to help rescue wounded from the Paga outpost. The message he left behind was posted to his status three days before he fell. He was 21 years old when he fell.
