Fallen Officer's Father Continues to Support IDF Soldiers

Abraham Revach, father of the fallen Major Dvir Zion Revach, has made it his mission to support new recruits of the Nahal Brigade's 932nd Battalion since his son was killed in combat in Beit Hanoun. Revach regularly attends induction centers, parents' days, and swearing-in ceremonies, accompanying multiple groups of soldiers.

He sees this involvement as a way to honor his son's legacy and provide motivation to the young fighters, whom he describes as "lions." Revach's son, Major Dvir Zion Revach, served for 470 days from the start of the war, including in Gaza, before falling during an operation in Beit Hanoun. During this period, Abraham Revach also worried about another son who was serving in reserves and was in Gaza simultaneously.

Revach, who himself served in the First Lebanon War, draws parallels between the prolonged combat of that era and the current demands on soldiers. He finds strength in meeting the new recruits, despite the emotional and physical toll his visits take. He recently had to pause his activities to rest but continues to be bolstered by the connection with the next generation of soldiers.

Despite his active role in supporting soldiers, Revach acknowledges the profound grief of losing his son. He states that "there is no father who doesn't break" and that crying over a child is natural. However, he finds solace and a guiding principle in the phrase "from the deep pit to the high roof," urging continuous resilience and striving for the highest possible ascent even after falling.

The family also works to keep Dvir's memory alive by producing flags and stickers in his honor and printing a prayer he wrote. These items have been distributed to prominent figures, including the Prime Minister and the Speaker of the Knesset.
