Staff Sgt. Hallel Solomon z”l

Hallel, son of Ronit and Mordechai, and brother to Yasmin, Hila, Vered, and Shaked Tzuriya, served as the lead "Negev" gunner in the Tzabar Battalion of the Givati Brigade. He was known for his kindness, humility, and endless generosity. Affectionately called "the peacemaker", Hallel had a unique ability to bring people together and create harmony wherever he went. On October 7th, he courageously went into battle, driven by his deep love for his homeland and its citizens, which he was determined to protect. He fell in Gaza alongside ten of his comrades when their armored personnel carrier was struck by an anti-tank missile. He was 20 years old when he fell.
