Eran Aderet RIP was born on April 3, 1978. The second son of four children of Nava and Avshalom Aderet. Eran was an introverted child, did not tend to expose his feelings, was involved in music, surfed the internet, and could lock himself in his room for an entire day without coming out. In high school he experienced unrequited love, and in 12th grade he rarely went to school, lost weight, and as a result his recruitment to the IDF was postponed. Eran agreed to start therapy, and until he joined the IDF, he worked at his father's startup company.

When he was 19, Eran joined the IDF. He requested to serve in the field of computers, but the army assigned him to the Logistics Corps. Eran was part of a team at a military base that dealt with the physical work of dismantling and loading trucks with the equipment of soldiers who were enlisting or being discharged. From the very beginning of his military service, Eran was unable to integrate socially and experienced great distress. On June 12, 1997, after five weeks of military service, Eran ended his life using his personal weapon.

The encouragement to commit suicide, and the instructions on how to carry it out using a rifle, Eran received in an internet chat room. After his suicide, his father, Dr. Avshalom Aderet, established the Eshnav Association, which aims to increase awareness of safe internet browsing.
