Master Sergeant (Res.) Liav Atiya (1998–2023)
Liav began his journey with T&M as a security officer at the IMOD Security Division facility in Ramat Beka. After about a year, he was promoted to Shift Supervisor at the site.
Liav was the embodiment of the Israeli spirit. Always the first to help, he was intelligent, sharp, outstanding, a natural leader, and a role model. He stood out in everything he did.
From his very first day at work, Liav’s presence was felt. He constantly looked for ways to make an impact and was always seeking opportunities to improve and make things better.
Liav was a man of strong values and determination. He never settled for mediocrity, genuinely cared for people, was always willing to lend a hand, articulate in his speech, and possessed exceptional integrity. Above all, Liav was a true friend.
Liav loved cooking and baking pizza. He enjoyed creating his own recipes and invested great care in every meal he prepared. He was also passionate about the performing arts, taking part in school productions and showing great promise as a rising talent.
Liav was 25 years old when he fell. He is survived by his parents, one sister, three brothers, and his partner.

Staff Sergeant (Res.) Asaf Pinchas Tobul (2001–2023)
Asaf completed his mandatory military service just a few weeks before the outbreak of the war. He immediately joined the company as a security officer and was assigned to the Ministry of Defense Border Crossings Security Project. During his training course, he began working at the Te’enim Crossing, where he served until he was called up for combat duty.
Despite the short time he worked with the company, Asaf quickly found a place in everyone’s heart. His smile, humility, and modesty were among his most defining qualities. His dedication to his role and strong work ethic left a lasting impression on those around him.
Asaf embodied the values of love for his country and people, respect for his parents, and respect for every individual. His colleagues at the crossing recall him as a fascinating conversationalist who was always willing to help and full of joy for life.
A phrase he often said, and one that reflected his outlook on life, was:
“One moment of sadness is nothing compared to a lifetime of happiness.”
Asaf was 22 years old when he fell. He is survived by his parents, six brothers and sisters.
He fell on December 27, 2023 (15 Tevet 5784), during the Swords of Iron War.

After several years in the security field and following his graduation from the Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet) Unified Security Course, Mark joined the company in 2019 as a security officer and was assigned to the Threatened Persons Unit of the Ministry of Justice.
Mark was considered a trailblazer and became the first crossings security officer in the unit. His professionalism and outstanding performance quickly stood out, and after two years, he was promoted to a managerial position within the unit.
Mark, who was nicknamed “Hercules” due to his strength and character, was known for his warm smile, professionalism, strong values, loyalty, and meticulous attention to detail. He always carried out his duties to the highest standard. Mark excelled in marksmanship and hand-to-hand combat (no one was eager to face him). Above all, he was a devoted father who dedicated all of his free time to his children.
Mark was 35 years old when he fell. He is survived by his wife, Orel, and their four children: Michael, Tair, Yonatan, and Noya.

Master Sergeant (Res.) Benjamin Destaw Neguse (1996–2024)
Beni, as he was known to everyone, worked for T&M as a security officer at the Elbit facility in Rehovot.
Beni was more than a security officer—he was a friend to everyone around him.
His unique sense of humor, warm personality, and natural ability to connect with people left a lasting impression on all who knew him. Whenever he entered a room, everyone knew they were in for moments of laughter and joy. His friends recall always wanting to be around him. He had a remarkable ability to make every situation easier and to turn challenges into opportunities. He was dedicated, committed, and always willing to go above and beyond for others.
Beni immigrated to Israel with his family from Ethiopia in 2001. He was kind-hearted, humble, and embodied the finest values of Israeli society. He enlisted in the Paratroopers Brigade and served as a combat soldier. He loved life, loved his country, and felt a deep commitment to stand alongside his comrades in its defense.
Beni was 28 years old when he fell. He is survived by his parents and four brothers and sisters.

Staff Sergeant (Res.) Roy Wasserstein (2001–2025)
Roy worked for T&M as a Security Shift Supervisor at the Ta’as facility in Ramat HaSharon.
Roy was an exceptional individual—a natural leader, kind-hearted, and a true friend. He was known for his warm eyes, humility, joyful spirit, and genuine love for those around him. His family describes him as a good-hearted, quiet young man who brought light wherever he went.
Roy was an outstanding reservist soldier and served as a combat medic. The soldiers who fought alongside him saw him as a role model and an inspiration. He was a quiet legend with a huge heart.
Beneath the surface, however, Roy carried wounds that could not be seen. The difficult experiences and images of combat followed him every day.
Roy took his own life after the burden of war became too heavy for him to bear. Today, his family is dedicated to supporting families affected by combat-related trauma and post-traumatic stress.
Roy was 24 years old at the time of his passing. He is survived by his parents and four brothers.
He passed away on July 30, 2025 (5 Av 5785), following his service during the Swords of Iron War.
