Singer Noa Kirel posted a tribute on social media on Saturday to Lt. Col. Dor Ben Simhon, the 52nd Battalion commander killed during operations in southern Lebanon last week. Her post — 'May God avenge your blood. We will not forget, and we will not forgive' — joins a growing wave of public tributes and eulogies, including by Northern Command chief Maj. Gen. Uri Gordin and Ben Simhon's wife, Ariel Biton Ben Shimon. Multiple earlier bulletins from The Zioneer have covered Ben Simhon's death, his final letter to his troops, and the public outpouring of grief. This is the first known tribute by a major Israeli cultural figure.
