Staff Sergeant Nitai Meisels, age 30, was killed in battle in Gaza on December 24, 2023. Born in 1993 in Baltimore during his father’s postdoctoral fellowship, Nitai grew up in Rehovot. He studied at the Atzmonoa pre-military academy before enlisting in the IDF, serving in the Armored Corps. From a young age, Nitai volunteered with Magen David Adom at the Rehovot station, later completing an EMT course and continuing to serve on ambulances and mobile intensive care units. Known for his humility, he kept his combat role hidden from his family, telling them he served in logistics. Nitai is remembered for his quiet strength, dedication, and selfless care for others. He was laid to rest in Rehovot and is survived by his parents, Ayala and Eitan, his two sisters, and his brother.
