Dozens of photographs are stuck on the walls of Or's bedroom in the family home in Rishon Letzion. In one terrible moment, the room was turned into a memorial: Tzur, smiling, with his classmates; Tzur hugging his parents; Tzur with his older sister, Ma'ayan, and his young brother, Barak. "He only knew how to love," said Ma'ayan between the tears. "This is the first time in my life that he's made me cry." Tzur's father, Tal, said that his son was a very giving person and that he loved the army. "He wanted to be a fighter," said the grieving father.
