Sergeant Israel Eliyahu Suisa, a lone soldier, a fighter in a paratrooper patrol, was killed in a car accident last Tuesday (5/3/24) while riding a motorcycle on Route 4. Israel has been fighting in the Gaza Strip since the outbreak of the war and went out for a short refresher, when he was involved in a car accident. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Suisa immigrated with his family to Israel from Canada. Two years ago, the family returned to Canada, and Israel remained in the country in order to enlist. He has been fighting in Gaza since the beginning of the war and left for several days to refresh himself. Yesterday (Tuesday 5/3/24) Israel found his death in a car accident, when he was riding a motorcycle on Route 4, between a licensed interchange and Ra'anana, where he lived in an apartment for lone soldiers.
His family is now making their way to Israel to accompany him to eternal rest.
"never complained"
Chaya Mushka Biton, Israel Eliyahu's older sister, says that Israel was a person who never complained and knew how to make everyone smile, even when the circumstances were not easy. "We are a family of 11 brothers and sisters, six of us live in Israel. Now the brothers who live in Canada are on their way to Israel together with our parents."
"He felt he was doing something important"
"I grew up in Canada until I was 18," says the sister, "then we immigrated to Israel. My brother Israel knew how to make fun of everything, he knew how to make it easy for everyone and lift the mood, he simply knew how to make everyone around him smile," she says and continues: "He didn't He told us exactly what he did in Gaza, he always said that everything was fine and that he felt he was doing something important. I would ask if it wasn't difficult for him not to shower, and he would always find something positive to say."
Mazel Suisa, Israel's younger sister, paid tribute to him today: "He was very brave. He was not afraid to fight and was very optimistic and happy. He was an amazing and sensitive brother, always making everyone laugh and creating a good atmosphere around him."
The family will sit for seven at Sderot Moshe Goshen 68, Kiryat Motzkin at the hours: 9:00-13:00, 16:00-19:00.
