Eli was conscripted into the Israeli Defense Force on March 26th, 2000, and was selected to serve in a special unit at the Megido Military Prision.
Eli succeeded to pass in excellence the most tough courses and operations during his military service and was an example to his colleagues in the unit he served.
His line of duty was demanding and required leadership and resourcefulness. Eli carried out service with great success and was always prepared to help his fellow soldiers. With a modest – yet athletic – nature and a permanent smile on his face, Eli was a true asset to his unit.
