Emanuel Moreno’s Face Is Still Classified — His Nephew Itay Followed His Path

In this powerful interview, Moshe Moreno shares the extraordinary and heartbreaking story of losing both his brother, Emanuel — one of Israel’s most decorated and secretive special forces officers whose face remains classified to this day — and his son, Itay, a heroic Maglan fighter killed in action just four days after October 7th. Seventeen years apart, both men gave their lives defending Israel, each defined by courage, humility, and an unwavering devotion to others. Moshe opens up about their final moments, the missions that can never be told, and his determination to honor their legacy by building a synagogue dedicated to uniting Jews of all traditions under one roof. This is not just a story of loss — it is a call for unity, strength, and the refusal to let division be our downfall.
