Nadav began his journey with Magen David Adom in 2018 as a youth volunteer at the Rehovot station.<\/p>\n

During his years of volunteering, he advanced through training, acquired tools for treating mass casualty incidents, and later completed a youth instructor course.<\/p>\n

He instructed and mentored young volunteers, sharing the knowledge and experience he had gained. After graduating high school, he continued his path at Magen David Adom as a first aid instructor until his enlistment in the IDF.<\/p>\n

Nadav served as a combat soldier in the 51st Battalion of the Golani Brigade. On February 6, 2025, he fell in the line of duty in Gaza.<\/p>\n

Nadav was laid to rest at the cemetery in Moshav Beit Hanan. He is survived by his parents and two sisters.<\/p>\n

A Magen David Adom bulletproof Mobile Intensive Care Unit was dedicated in his memory.<\/p>\n

May his memory be a blessing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":5152,"template":"","heroes":[100],"class_list":["post-6885","thefallen","type-thefallen","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","heroes-magen-david-adom-men-and-women-who-fell-during-the-iron-swords-war"],"yoast_head":"\nMaster Sergeant Nadav Cohen z"l | \u05d2\u05d9\u05d1\u05d5\u05e8\u05d9 \u05de\u05d3\u05f4\u05d0 \u05e9\u05dc \u05d4-7 \u05d1\u05d0\u05d5\u05e7\u05d8\u05d5\u05d1\u05e8<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Nadav began his journey with Magen David Adom in 2018 as a youth volunteer at the Rehovot station.
