Gil Avital, 56, of Moshav Yesha, was a husband, father of three and member of his community’s local security team, remembered as someone who was always first to jump into action. When Hamas attacked on October 7, Gil left his family’s reinforced room, put on his protective gear and joined the defense. He was killed fighting near Mivtahim, but the defenders prevented the terrorists from entering the nearby communities.
