Singer Idan Haviv performed at a memorial service on Friday morning for Sergeant First Class Adi Leon, a fallen soldier from the Givati Brigade. The ceremony took place at the cemetery in Modi'in.

Leon was killed during an incident involving an Namer APC early in the ground maneuver in Gaza. Haviv's performance moved those in attendance who gathered to honor the soldier.

Following his death, Leon's family discovered a will he had written. In it, he expressed his awareness of the risks involved in the war but affirmed his belief in his mission. He wrote, "I am going to this war knowing I am not sure I will return, but I wholeheartedly believe in what I am doing. We have no other land and now it is my turn to defend it and avenge all the civilians and soldiers, the babies, the elderly, and all the women who were simply helpless against the inferno of Hamas. This is the education my parents gave me, this is what I believe in. I hope you will remember me."
