Musician Idan Raichel was overcome with emotion during a live broadcast as he shared memories of his dear friend, Col. Roi Levy.
In an interview on Channel 12, Raichel recounted how Levy tragically lost his life in recent battles against infiltrators from the Gaza Strip.
Raichel passionately emphasized that if Levy could witness the extraordinary civilian response to helping those who were harmed in southern Israel, it would undoubtedly touch his heart.
Raichel broke down
“You see, this is why we fought for civilian leadership,” Raichel imagined his late friend saying. Overwhelmed by grief, Raichel broke down during the interview and tearfully requested to leave the studio.
“We’re live. I need to step away,” he sorrowfully explained.
The hosts acknowledged Raichel’s pain and bid him farewell as he left the studio, his emotions still raw.
Levy’s loss deeply affected his family. Levy’s wife expressed her profound love for him and her disbelief at the intensity of their bond. Levy’s daughters also mourned him, recognizing him as their hero and vowing to uphold his cherished values.
