While his family remained confined to their bomb shelter at home, Eyal was promptly evacuated to Soroka hospital. Upon his arrival, he was swiftly taken to the operating room, and all personal belongings, including his wedding ring, were entrusted to the hospital staff for safekeeping.
Once admitted to the cardiothoracic ward, Eyal awoke and requested his wedding ring. His wife, Reut, initiated a search, acknowledging, "The ring may have been misplaced amidst everything we endured, but I was determined to find it because of its priceless sentimental value."
With the assistance of several soldiers and hospital personnel, the ring was discovered within a box of bullets — just in time for Reut and Eyal's 11th anniversary.
