Gil
Age: 32
Rank: Sergeant First Class
Military role: Combat soldier in Yahalom–Special Operations Engineering Unit
Studies: MD + PhD
Calling: Doctor & cancer researcherAt the start of the war, Gil was urgently drafted to Gaza where he served with his unit for 40 days. They searched for, scanned and destroyed tunnels, bombed suspicious sites, dismantled explosives, and gathered intelligence – all under missile attacks and enemy gunfire.
“More happened in three days of war than my entire three-and-a-half years of regular IDF service,” Gil says.
Gil recounts that during missions, he thought about his family, his friends, his academic and medical pursuits and everything that he was defending. He believes Israel is strong and resilient, and looks forward to serving his country in another way – as a physician-scientist.
