An investigation into the incident where an IDF soldier was killed during a tour with a 'land of Israel' researcher has revealed significant failures. Communications, testimonies, and photographs indicate that the researcher repeatedly requested access to the military zone. A meeting between the researcher and the Deputy Chief of Staff at the border was not investigated. The investigation also highlighted the casual manner in which soldiers were moving, described as being like a stroll, moments before gunfire erupted.
In the early morning hours in the fields of Nir Banim, the pastoral scene is disrupted by a metallic buzzing sound from the cemetery area. Ron and Maayan Kahati sit by a pile of stones, watching their friend engrave the letters 'G', 'Y', 'R' onto a stone. This is the grave of their son Gur, who fell in Lebanon. Initially, there was an IDF headstone, but the family removed it and left it respectfully at the Kirya base. For the past few months, the gravesite has been empty, marked only by a small wooden sign with the name 'Gur' and above it, a thousand origami cranes tied with string.
