Staff Sgt. Adi Briga was a soldier in the 7th Armored Brigade. Briga was killed with three other soldiers by mortar fire along the Gaza border on July 28. At his funeral, Adi’s sister, Michal, spoke to him, “And now I am accompanying you on your last journey. How do I eulogize you? Where do I start? How do I put into words the painful thoughts we have had since yesterday?” she continued, starting to cry: “It is intolerable to think of you in the past, it is too painful.” Briga was from Beit Shikma. He was 23 years old.
