2006- Nadav Balva
Nadav was born in 1985 in Carmiel. Nadav was very smart and his final high school project focused on water preservation. Within this project, he laid out his invention of a device which mixes up the water in the shower in order to release the water at the appropriate temperature. In 2004, Nadav joined Golani as an “Egoz” fighter. One of his friends said, “Nadav was exceptional. From his first moment in the unit, everyone could see that he was a special case- a man who wasn’t like everyone else.” Because of his exceptional skills, Nadav took on the distinguished role of leading the team in battle. In July of 2006, Nadav died in southern Lebanon as he was leading his team into a house where terrorists were hiding in Maroun A Ras. Nadav, his commander, and three other soldiers were killed. Nadav was only 21 years old. He is survived by his parents and three siblings.
