First Sergeant Ehud Goldwasser
Ehud was kidnapped, along with Eldad Regev, by Hezbollah terrorists on July 12, 2006 during regular reserve duty. It was this act by Hezbollah that finally triggered the Second Lebanon War. Ehud finally returned home two years later as part of a deal, but alas, his death was confirmed by the sight of two coffins, and not two live men as all had hoped and prayed. Until that moment, family, friends and the entire nation had maintained hope that Ehud and Eldad were alive. Ehud grew up in Nahariya in the north and was a professional photographer married to Karnit. He was 31 years old.
