She saved the village of Yakini. The night before, Ravit was in NYC and as soon she got off the red-eye flight to Israel, Ravit she went straight onto the field to protect her people. Her commander told funeralgoers: “Ravit insisted on going in first. She was killed but she saved the unit, she saved the operation. We were in an olive grove and had been fighting for several hours. We shot eight of them. Ravit killed three. We thought they were all dead. We did a sweep of the area and Ravit went to check a shed in the olive grove. She insisted on going in first. She asked me to cover her. She was shot. But if she had not gone in there, he would have wiped us all out. She saved the unit." Just 72 hours earlier Ravit posed for a picture in NYC where she was celebrating the Jewish festival of Sukkot with her father. Every Sukkot they travelled to the United States to sell ritual fruits known as 'etrog' — called citron in English — to the NYC Jewish community. She leaves behind her parents, 8 siblings, many friends, and a family business🎗️
