Sergeant yaniv Bar On
Yaniv was a typical middle child who enjoyed playing with either of his siblings, his older brother or his younger sister. He was a quiet student who dedicated himself to the studies he liked, often neglecting those he was less fond of. As a child, Yaniv Bar-On could recite by heart information on all of Israel's wars. A child of olim, he often spent summers in Montreal with his maternal grandparents. Yaniv was killed on July 12, 2006 during efforts to retrieve the bodies of tank crew members after a Hezbollah strike. He was 19 years old.
