Ben-Shimon, Maor Haim

Maor, son of Dina and Moshe Son of-Shimon, was born in July 1987 in Yavneh. On October 11, 2007, he joined the Air Force. At the beginning of his service in the IDF, he completed a course in the Air Force Technical School in Haifa and was assigned to the Hatzerim base in Be’er Sheva, where he served for three years. At the end of his regular service, Maor chose to continue his career in the army. Maor dreamed of going far and doing much, but a fatal car accident on the seventh night of Passover took his life. Magen David Adom teams were summoned to the scene and evacuated Maor, in critical condition, to Soroka Hospital in Be’er Sheva, where he died of his wounds. First Sergeant Maor Benf-Shimon fell in the line of duty on the 20th of Nissan (24.4. 2011). He was buried in the military section of the cemetery in Yavneh.
