Azoulay, Yehuda

Son of Hanna and Shalom was born in March 1929 in the Old City of Jerusalem. Yehuda participated in the battles of the Haganah in Katamon and in Yemin Moshe, and in an attempt to bring weapons into the defenders of the Old City he escaped from the British, who captured most of the members of the convoy. He was later sent to the Old City, fought valiantly for its defense, was wounded and healed and continued to fight, and again wounded until on the 15th of Iyar 5708 (May 24, 1948) he fell and was buried in the Old City. His name was engraved on the monument erected in the military cemetery on Mount Herzl in memory of those who perished in the Jewish Quarter and the memory of soldiers who fell in the battle for Jerusalem and were buried on the Mount of Olives.
