Staff Sergeant Tal Ifrach
Staff Sergeant Tal Ifrach served in the elite Egoz unit in the Golani Brigade. He died in a clash in the neighborhood of Shejaiya, in Gaza City on Monday, July 21. Ifrach was supposed to finish his military service just three months prior to his death. An avid athlete, Ifrach ran national track and cross country races. "He was the shyest, most modest and pleasant guy that I know," Roee, a friend and classmate, said. "He stood out in class mostly due to his kind heart and his laughter. Tal would take his guitar everywhere.” He was from Rishon Lezion and was 21 years old.
