IDF Remembers Fallen Soldier Dan Talasnikov

Produced by the IDF in 2012 in honor of Yom Hazikaron, this video (05:08) tells the tragic story of Dan Talasnikov, 21, a paratrooper who was killed by a terrorist in an undercover operation in 2005. Through video footage, photographs, and interviews with his family, friends and comrades, the video reveals Dan’s sense of humor, devotion to others, and leadership. Just one of the tens of thousands of young men and women who have given the ultimate sacrifice for the Jewish people and the State of Israel, this video reminds us that each fallen soldier is a unique world unto him or herself.Â
