Idan Bloy, 21, of Rishon Lezion, was a Golani signals officer remembered as an exceptional commander who lived a life full of purpose. When Hamas terrorists invaded the Nahal Oz outpost on October 7, Idan raced to the war room, helped coordinate the defense and then went out to fight while continuing to give orders over the radio. He was killed in the firefight while defending the base.
