A few days later, in the midst of the Hanukkah holiday, while the minister and former chief of staff were sitting shiva for their son who fell in the northern Gaza Strip, the Eisenkot family received the news of the fall of their nephew - Sergeant Maor Cohen Eisenkot, may his memory be blessed, 19 years old, from Eilat, a fighter in the 12th Battalion, Golani Brigade, who fell in battle in the southern Gaza Strip.
