I was the commander of the IAF, I was born in Israel. Upon my enlistment in the IDF in August, I volunteered for a pilot course and graduated with a combat major. After the course, I underwent an operational training course in the Uraganim Squadron, after which I was assigned to the Mister Aircraft Squadron. And later on I was stationed in the Vators Squadron in Ramat David, a base where I held a wide range of positions in the various squadrons over the years, and was even appointed commander. I held various training positions at the IAF Flight School. I spent the Six Day War in the Vetours Squadron as an operational pilot. I took part in the attack on the Beni Suaf and Luxor airports in Egypt, as well as in the attack on the Iraqi H-3 airfield. During the attack on the Luxor airfield, the main fuel tank of my Vator aircraft was hit by Egyptian anti-aircraft fire. The severe fuel leak later led to the shutdown of one of the engines. I continued to fly the plane on one engine and managed to reach the airport in Eilat on the last drop of fuel and land safely.

In August #### I was drafted into the IDF. I volunteered for the paratroopers and during my service I completed an officers' course and was appointed platoon commander with the rank of second lieutenant. And I was admired by my commanders and subordinates. During my regular service, I participated in the Samua operation, after which I was sent to a mortar course. As the end of my regular service approached, I signed up for two more years of permanent service, saying: "I am still young, and I will still have time to learn and teach. First of all, I owe my time to the army." During the Six-Day War, I demonstrated courage and leadership ability while commanding a platoon in a company that broke through the road from Khan Yunis to the outskirts of Gaza. In this battle, which took place on the first day of the battles, the company commander and his second fell, and then I took command while walking around being seen by the enemy, exposed to its fire, so that I could control my men who were scattered under the barrage of fire. I encouraged my men with my behavior, and when I was seriously injured, while organizing and rescuing the wounded, I asked that others be evacuated first, and I remained and ordered the soldiers to continue fighting. I was transferred to Tel Hashomer Hospital for treatment, but there I died of my wounds five days later.

When I enlisted in the IDF, I volunteered for the paratroopers and was assigned to the ###th Battalion. During the first operations against Fatah, which then began to carry out sabotage operations in the State of Israel. In this context, I was seriously wounded when I took part in the Samu' operation – in the South Hebron Hills – in November ####. After recovering from my injury, I was given command of a paratrooper reconnaissance unit, with which I fought the Six Day War. At the end of that year, I was appointed commander of the ###th Battalion – the battalion in which I began my military service in the Paratroopers Brigade, and in #### I was appointed as an officer in the Central Command, under the command of Major General Rehavam Ze'evi. During the battles of the Yom Kippur War, I headed a special task force that operated on the Egyptian front.

On 1973, during the attack on the Egyptian enemy array in the 'Television" stronghold, a missile hit the tank that I commanded. I was thrown out of the tank by the force of the impact but returned to it despite my injury and handled the evacuation of my crew members. Afterwards, I boarded another tank and continued to command the fighting. During the attack on the 'Chinese Farm', four of the company's tanks were hit by missile fire. I organized the rescue of the force and supervised the treatment of the wounded. When I learned that one of the soldiers was missing, I ran through the minefield towards the tanks, exposed to enemy fire, and tried to rescue the soldier, but without success. On my way back, I evacuated one of the damaged tanks, which was still fit to drive, and then ran two more times to evacuate the wounded who were inside the minefield. In these actions I showed exemplary composure and courage. I was released from reserve duty in April #### and traveled with my brother Eran to the United States and Canada. Our trip lasted about six months, and upon our return to Israel, I continued my studies at the university. I was called up every year for long periods of reserve service as a deputy commander in the Armored Corps. At the end of ####, I completed a battalion commander's course and returned to serve in the regular army as a tank battalion commander, with the rank of lieutenant colonel
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I was drafted into the IDF at the beginning of November 1970 and was assigned to the Armored Corps. After completing his basic training, I completed professional courses, including a tank artillery course and an armored officers' course, and completed all these courses with excellent grades. I used to treat the tank as a close personal object. I would talk about tanks, keep tank parts in my pockets, and even buy paints from his own money to decorate "my" tank. The armored corps was for me a way of life and a goal, and I was a dedicated and a caring commander for my soldiers and a beloved officer of my commanders and my subordinates alike. When the Yom Kippur War broke out, I was the deputy commander of a tank company in the Golan Heights. My unit participated in the containment battles, the purpose of which was to prevent the advance of the Syrians in the area of Bukata. On the **&HG&^^$ @@#$ 1973, I set out to rescue two tank crews, which remained in the area occupied by the enemy. As I moved forward, I noticed Syrian tanks passing by, but nevertheless I continued my mission, and with great composure and resourcefulness I rescued the crews and dragged the tanks towards our forces. During the fighting, my tank was hit, but I escaped and continued to fight from another tank. Afterwards, I was hit and killed by a direct hit in battle near Mount Hermonit. I was brought to eternal rest in the military cemetery on Mount Herzl.
----------------------------------------------------------------
At the outbreak of the Yom Kipur war, I was abroad, and when I learned that the war had broken out, I stopped my leave and arrived in Israel in October 1973. I was tasked with assembling a force from the remnants of a unit that had been damaged during the battles. I quickly organized the force, and on October 9 I participated in the decisive battle to stop the Syrian attack north of Quneitra, which ended with the repulse and destruction of the enemy forces. While chasing the enemy, I was wounded in the face but continued to command the force. At the time of the breakthrough into Syria on October 11, I headed my unit at the forefront of the attack in the northern sector of our forces and penetrated deep into Syrian territory with them. In the attack that night, I was wounded a second time but continued to personally command and organize my forces for the continuation of the fighting. The next day, I was seriously wounded a third time because of being hit by enemy planes, but I refused to evacuate despite explicit orders from the doctor and the commander of the formation. With the formation of a certain stalemate in the front of the formation and in the face of enemy resistance I proposed a bold plan to attack the enemy's key positions by flanking in an area that was considered impassable and volunteered to carry out this attack at the head of a small force. Although I suffered weakness due to my previous wounds, the flanking was carried out and the force reached its target, destroying enemy tanks and vehicles. While occupying the objective, part of the force was hit, including my tank, and I was seriously wounded for the 4th time. In this condition, I remained in the field for 4 hours while the tank driver treated me. Despite my injury, I directed the artillery fire of our forces and the rescue force that reached me after dark. During the days of fighting, I demonstrated extraordinary initiative and resourcefulness, a desire to fight and a willingness to stand at the head of our forces, and thereby instilled confidence and fighting spirit in my soldiers. In these actions, I showed devotion to the mission, initiative, and excellent leadership.
