Anter, Abraham


Abraham, son of Roza and Shaul, was born on March 8, 1944 in Cairo, Egypt. He immigrated to Israel in 1949. He graduated from the Zafririm School in Haifa and the Kugel Arab High School in Holon. Avraham was drafted into the IDF at the end of July 1962 and volunteered to serve in a well-known naval commando unit, but after a short training he was disqualified for poor vision. He served in a heavy mortar unit and served in the Six Day War when he walked between him and death, when his subordinates managed to leap out of the half-tracks before being hit directly. In 1968 he married his daughter Esther Jakuel and lived in difficult housing conditions. After a joint effort, he managed to buy an apartment in Neot Shoshanim in Holon and was supposed to move to a more spacious apartment in Ra’anana after Yom Kippur. In 1971 his daughter Vered was born and in 1973 his daughter Anat was born, whom he loved most. Avraham successfully completed the Graduate School of Management in Accounting and had only two exams for the degree. Worked at Bank Leumi in the supervisory department for several years. He was popular with his colleagues and acquaintances. He has a strong character, devotion and devotion to his family and work. A week before the outbreak of the Yom Kippur War, he was discharged from reserve service as part of an exercise in which he was even hurt in the ear. However, despite this injury, he objected to reducing his health (Profile) and enlisted on Yom Kippur together with his unit. Avraham fell in combat in the Golan Heights as a result of a direct hit in an air attack on 10.10.1973, without seeing his family, a family to which he was connected with all his soul, especially his daughters Vered and Anat, to whom he devoted all his free time.
