Thousands came this evening (Tuesday) to the military section of the Hod Hasharon cemetery to accompany the town’s son, Major Eyal Abneon, reserve MP in Nahal, on his last journey. Abneon (25) was killed in battle in the center of the Gaza Strip. He is survived by his parents, a brother Firstborn and little sister.
The late Major (resp.) Eyal Abneon was laid to rest,
Nurse Neta paid tribute to him: “Eyal, my brother. I’m sitting in your room and I think how upset you would be that the ordination was unfair and that I took you a book. How good you were. How you always sought to be good and do everything to the best of your ability. People would fall in love with that goodness. You always told me How special I am and that you were the strength of our family, that family always comes first.”
“How proud I was of you, how proud I was of you. It’s a shame I didn’t tell you that more. So I’m telling you now how much I love you. How can you not be at my wedding? You won’t be as Eld. You planned to do a marathon this year. I’ll run in your place, I’ll show off that you’re my brother I love you forever, Neta, your little sister.”

The brother, Ophir: “I never felt bigger than you. You are better than me, stronger, more humble. You always led me, I believed in me more than I believed in myself, you always supported me. Now I know that I failed as an older brother. When you were born I promised that I would take care of you at all costs and here I am I praise you. You were my partner. I will never forget you. You were the closest to the sun, but this time I love you.
The father, my father: “My Eyal, on my last birthday you wrote that you won’t forget how I jumped you to Gaza, regarding the hug I gave you and that you thought of me and my mother. My Eyal, in the vast space you left us you will know that I had the privilege of raising you and being your father. Some plans We had for the next year. I ask who will challenge me to run fast and caress my belly, so it’s a shame that you are not here to imitate me. I love you, my hero.”

The mother, Sharon: “I want to say that he was my best friend. He was everything to me. When I didn’t know what to do, I turned to him. He is the greatest friend in this world. He always loved me and made me happy. Now I have nothing. They took my the heart”.
“He promised me that he would take care of himself and come back. He was the best brother, the best son. Even when he went to this hell, he reassured me that he would be fine. I didn’t think anything would happen to him. Everything with him is planned – we didn’t plan it. You can’t begin to explain He was the best thing I ever knew. He was always connected to the army. He felt like he had won the lottery the way?”.

His close friend, Gideon Zeig, shared earlier today: “It’s hard for me. I don’t know people like him. A person who is simply the best, really, in all areas. Every interaction he had with someone left him smiling. He loved his loved ones more than that he loved himself.

“He was successful. Everything he touched was gold. In his military service, that’s a story in itself, he enlisted in the 13th Fleet, he trained for it all through high school. He didn’t sleep at night, he trained, that was his biggest goal. In general, in the army, To contribute to the country, to contribute to the place he lives in, that he lives in.”
