Families Establish Foundation to Memorialize Fallen Golani Soldiers

Three years after the deaths of Shalev Bar-Nes, Dolav Amiyal, and their commander Dekel Suissa in the battle for the Foga outpost, their bereaved families marked the anniversary at the site of their fall. The families gathered today at the outpost to commemorate the fallen soldiers. On the eve of the Simchat Torah holiday, a Torah scroll donated in their memory was dedicated at the outpost, continuing to accompany the soldiers stationed there. The "Foga Foundation" has been established by the families to preserve the legacy of the three soldiers and share their story with soldiers and communities across Israel. The foundation operates a branded food truck that travels the country, visiting IDF bases, memorial events, and community gatherings. Through this initiative, the soldiers' story is brought to both military personnel and civilians, creating a connection between their memory and younger generations. "We are not just commemorating their fall, but the path they walked. The foundation is our way of ensuring their names will accompany soldiers and children for the next twenty years," said the mother of Shalev, Shalev's mother. "The food truck and our activities across the country allow us to reach people, tell them who they were, and keep their legacy alive."
