At the end of the second truce, his company was transferred to the Mishmar Hayarden front. When the fighting resumed, he fought with his company to stop Syrian attempts to break into Rosh Pina. On 3 Tamuz, July 10, 1948, he fell in battle as he went out to help the wounded and gather them from the battlefield. Shlomo-Menashe was brought to eternal rest in the military cemetery in Rosh Pina
