Yoav Doron, 22
By Amiram Barkat, Haaretz Correspondent

Yoav Doron, a second lieutenant, had been working as a security officer in the hills south of Hebron with his friend Yehuda Ben-Yosef while on leave from the army and waiting for his commanders in the Egoz unit to decide on a new posting for him.

Doron's brother, Zohar, said Thursday that only two days ago Yoav received his new assignment as a platoon commander in Golani. Born in 1980, he was the fourth of five children of Esther and Aharon Doron. He went to the local state religious school in Har Nof in Jerusalem.

Doron enlisted at the age of 20 after spending 18 months studying at the Shavei Hebron yeshiva in Kiryat Arba. His brothers described him as a quiet and shy young man who loved both Torah studies and bicycling. He played guitar and wrote poetry. The family is referring to the incident as an "unfortunate accident.
