His wife, (Lieutenant) Paz Eyal, was a serving soldier during the first intifada in the mid-late 1980's and was responsible for the basic training of female soldiers.
And his oldest daughter, (Sgt.) Tami Alster, served between 2018-2020 at a base in the West Bank closest to the Palestinian stronghold of Nablus.
