In Memoriam of:

Yehonatan Deutsch

Age: 23

From: Beit Shean

In Loving Memory of the Innocent Souls Taken Too Soon. United in peace, their light shines on in the hearts left behind. October 7, 2023, a day of sorrow, but their memories guide us toward a hopeful tomorrow.

Yehonatan Deutsch, z"l, was killed in a terror shooting attack in the Jordan Valley yesterday while he was travelling from his home in Beit Sha'an to visit his fiancée. Deutsch, 23, was a commando in the IDF’s Maglan unit and was part of the security forces who scrambled to Kibbutz Nahal Oz on the day of the Hamas October 7 massacre. Deutsch also served in Gaza during the ongoing war and was recently discharged and was planning to marry his fiancée, Emuna. “Yonatan wanted to work in education, to join a youth village, to guide. He was a people person, a giving person, a joyful person. He loved his country and his people in an extraordinary way,” his father, Uri Deutsch, told Kan news earlier today. “Among other things, he was involved in a project called ‘Tikvateinu’ (“Our hope”), a project that works to connect all parts of Israeli society, religious and secular people. We all have a common basis of being Jews, Israelis. He dreamed of establishing a movement and influencing the entire Israeli society.”
