01 · THE DISPATCH

Personal diaries and notebooks belonging to Staff Sgt. Naveh Havshush, who fell in combat in southern Lebanon, were found by his family after his death, according to the source. In excerpts circulating this morning, Havshush wrote: 'Being a solider is a privilege, a mitzvah, not a task. I am not doing anyone a favor.' He added that he served 'with immense joy' and saw his service as enabling children to be born in the land. The writings offer a personal window into the worldview of the 20-year-old tank commander from the community of Adam. Havshush was identified as the fifth soldier killed in a tank incident in southern Lebanon, as The Zioneer previously reported. His funeral and other details remain unpublished.
