Dvir Zakay

He left behind him parents and two siblings.

Dvir was born on November 9, 2002. A quiet and modest child, he knew how to achieve things in a pleasant manner, the most pleasant conversationalist there is! A fighter in the Golani Brigade’s 13th Battalion, serving in Nahal Oz. Dvir and his friends fought bravely and were not afraid of anything, they were lions facing hundreds of bloodthirsty terrorists. It was a bit too much for them, but they didn’t hesitate for a moment, sought contact, and in their death saved many lives from Kibbutz Nahal Oz. For all this courage and bravery, we are very proud of him!

Dvir was a peacemaker, a glorious fighter, and an excellent Negev machine gunner, who knew how to behave just like a commander. He was a special son, brother, and grandson, there wasn’t a day he didn’t ask how we were doing and made sure to say thank you for every little thing done for him.

We will forever remember and commemorate our hero.
