Adir Gaory

Adir Gaory was born and raised in the vibrant city of Jerusalem. From a young age, he displayed an unwavering sense of duty and an unbreakable spirit. Known for his kind heart and fierce determination, Adir always strived to make a difference.

At the age of 18, Adir’s path led him to join the elite unit of Sayeret Matkal, one of the most prestigious and demanding units in the Israel Defense Forces. His friends and family were not surprised by his choice. Adir had always been drawn to challenges and had a natural inclination for leadership. The rigorous training pushed him to his limits, but he embraced every obstacle with resilience and an unyielding resolve.

Tragically, during the 07 October 2023, Adir fell in the line of duty. His sacrifice was a profound loss not only to his family and friends but also to his nation. The news of his passing was a heavy blow to all who knew him.

In recognition of his bravery and service, Adir was posthumously promoted from Sergeant First Class to Lieutenant. The Israel Defense Forces mourned his loss and extended their deepest condolences to his family, vowing to support them in their grief.
