Gil z"l was murdered, along with his good friend Omri Lavi, z"l, at the Nova music festival near Kibbutz Re'im. Friends say: "Gil was a smart, intelligent and humble man. He served in the paratroopers unit.. He grew up in a beautiful home and family of Israel, the working Israel who contributes to the security of the country. He left behind a pair of parents and four older brothers." Meran, his girlfriend, told of him: "Gil is a very total human being and if he loves you then you won a huge prize...I envy myself that I had such an amazing, ambitious, dedicated partner. Every little order went where it could and it couldn't be stopped. A boy with the best eyes in the world, a melting smile. Just an angel in human form."
