Exhibit Honors Fallen Soldiers with Final Photos

An exhibition titled "The Last Picture" opened Sunday at the Yehudit light rail station in Tel Aviv, commemorating 22 fallen soldiers from the "Swords of Iron" war. The exhibition, which moves from an online project to the public space, features the final photographs of these soldiers and shares their personal stories.

The project is based on "The Last Picture" initiative, named after Sergeant Amit Regev, who fell in Gaza in September 2025. The digital memorial, a collaboration between "Israel Hayom" and the "One Family" organization, was established on the last Memorial Day and has garnered over 10 million views and shares. It honors hundreds of fallen soldiers.

Alongside the exhibition, additional stories of "Swords of Iron" heroes will be featured on the yes television network, the Pazam soldiers' page, and within the Scouts movement, which has lost 132 members since October 7.

Master Sergeant (Res.) Daniel Ben Harush, a fighter in the Givati Brigade's reconnaissance battalion, fell in Gaza on December 18, 2023, at age 31. His brother Michael recalled a photo Daniel sent during combat, capturing his smile, calm, and inner peace, along with a cigarette amidst the fighting. Daniel, who immigrated from France with his family, was known for his large heart, volunteerism, and passion for Israel and nature. He was pursuing physiotherapy and worked as a rehabilitative fitness coach.

Private First Class Shirat Yam Amar, 19, fell on October 7 while defending her friends at the Nachal Oz outpost. Her brother Yonatan described a photo taken of her smiling on her first day as a lookout, shortly before the attack. She had bravely thrown grenades back at terrorists, saving some of her friends. Shirat Yam dreamed of becoming a fashion designer and loved horses and nature.

Sergeant First Class Roy Weiser, a Golani Brigade fighter, fell on October 7 at the Erez outpost. His mother Naomi shared a photo of him smiling, highlighting his pride in his soldiers and his motto, "Life is much easier when you just smile." Roy, who grew up in Efrat, managed the defense of his position for over an hour against dozens of terrorists, saving many lives.
