Chebbani, son


Ben Margalit and Rahamim. He was born on 20 December 1986. In the middle of the school he was the eldest son of the young Ido, and at the age of five his family moved to the Beit Eliezer neighborhood of Hadera, where he was educated in the Kaplan elementary school and at the Hadera High School Beit Eliezer “, where he studied in junior high and high school, where Ben spent most of Ben’s life and acquired his many friends, a son of his own name, a devoted son and loyal to family and friends, and the pillar. , And in his charming smile he sang peace and tranquility to all those around him, and the teachers were also captivated by his good qualities and charm, that even when he was mischievous or irritable, they could not be angry with me A boy who was a member of the Bnei Akiva youth movement and even played soccer, but his main love and attention was given to horses: From the age of thirteen, Ben always came to the stables of Givat Olga, worked on a voluntary basis and did all the necessary work. Ben was a natural leader who gathered his peers and school and neighborhood friends around him, and spent most of his time with him. “Ben was a unique child. Very modest, but a young man who loved life very much and especially loved life together. “” He always wanted it to be good for everyone. Ben always invited his friends to his home, where, as part of the local experience, the friends listened to their favorite Mizrahi music, and Esau was happy. “Reuben the angel.” “He had a dream that when he married, Reuven the angel would sing at the wedding,” says his aunt, Bracha, who after his fall wrote a poem in Ben’s memory, not many knew. The help he gave to the needy and the weak – both financial and physical – came from a deep place of infinite giving ability, The social life of the cities he managed did not prevent him from consistently helping to support the family, and at any time he was free to work in the “Makor Hachash” store in his neighborhood. Ben was accompanied by his mother, who lost her brother during the First Lebanon War, and was present at all the family memorial ceremonies, a new dimension to his identification with his pain after enlisting when he participated in ceremonies as a soldier in uniform . Ben felt the strong connection to his people and country, and believed in the justice of the road. He also had a significant figure for his brother. His sister Sarit the tyrant, and though he was younger she felt the need to protect her. He also treated his younger brother Ido, took care of him at school and took care of him. Ben has always wanted to be a Golani fighter. However, on the day he was drafted, on 1 August 2005, when he arrived at the absorption and sorting base, Laban was told that he was intended for “combat engineering.” Ben refused to accept his appointment and refused to board the bus. He was arrested for three days, but Ben was not deterred. He fought until he won, and even when his enlistment was postponed in three months, he finally reached the unit he wanted to serve – the 51st Battalion of Golani. His mother described his great pride when he wore the Golani uniform with the insignia of the unit: “He walked like a proud peacock, with the uniform on it as if he had filled his shoulders that were already wide.” Ben was “poisoned” for “Golani”, “married to the brigade,” as the members expressed. From the moment of his integration into the company, he was happy.Despite the difficulties and the physical burden, Ben went on many activities and operations, encouraged the members and raised his morale. Wherever they went, everyone knew that Ben had arrived, no matter where he was, he would be heard everywhere, “said one of his friends. “It was not easy for him in the army, and the conditions in the battalion were not easy and very complex, but it was his joy of life, the nonsense and the laughs that kept him, he was a friend of everyone and the guys did not let him leave.” Ben’s commanders testified that he had performed all his tasks quietly and heroically, never gave up, and showed stubbornness and perseverance. During the special vacations he received, a soldier from the army rushed to the meat store in his neighborhood and worked hard. “Ben would come to the store, take off his uniform and change into clothes that he had in our locker room, put his weapon on the locker and begin to work at the hardest physical jobs,” says Eyal Angelser. ” During the Second Lebanon War, which he hid from his parents, Ben was saved from death by the fire of our forces. He spent the last eight months of his life in the Gaza Strip, although his health was precarious. Ben knew that if he did not enter Gaza, one of his friends would take his place, so he gave up the “gimmicks” he received and insisted on returning to activity. Ben had many plans for the future: to complete his studies, to advance and acquire a profession, and to build his life. “He wanted to be something ‘big’,” the friends said. But Ben did not achieve his plans. Ben was killed in a battle in the southern Gaza Strip on Wednesday, 17 October 2007. That same morning, the 51nd Battalion of the Golani Brigade, accompanied by armored and engineering forces, operated deep inside the Gaza Strip, about two kilometers from the perimeter fence. Wanted to locate weapons, and at about 9 AM, the soldiers saw the figures carrying an RPG launcher and other weapons in the alley near the house where they had spent the night. During the attack, the fighters managed to hit two of the terrorists, but a shot fired at them from close range hit the son in the shoulder and critically wounded him After being treated on the ground and trying to stabilize his condition, Ben was taken by helicopter to Soroka Medical Center in Be’er Sheva, but the doctors’ efforts to save him failed and he died of his wounds. Parents, sister and brother, and was promoted to the rank of First Sergeant: “Ben, you fell bravely in a long and exhausting battle for the freedom of the State of Israel. A battle for morality and the right way. A battle to which you went out with a clear knowledge of who is right, with the clear knowledge that there is also a possible price that you are willing to pay if necessary. … you have the infinite evil, the willingness to help your friends at any price and effort, even if it is a great effort. You showed the strength of will and devotion to the mission in which you were a model for all the soldiers in the battalion. I saw you panting and sweating, but biting your lips and continuing. I said to myself-if he was standing up to the burden and heroism, who could complain. I remember the blush of shyness and gentleness that was fixed in your cheeks, but most of all I remember the peace of mind you used to wrap yourself in before you went out on operations, along with your broad back as you led the battalion from the look of the commander moving behind the point, knowing he had a broad back About him. And indeed, that was the battle, as expected, and among your friends no one was surprised. You stormed the force with the determination and professionalism and bravery of a Golani fighter. Perhaps I have a little consolation and it is the fact that already in his life and certainly in the mouthHis last advantage influenced many of his values ​​on the State of Israel. We, the fighters of the 51st Battalion, will continue in the spirit of these values ​​and will defend our country at all costs. Our enemies knew that our spirit was as strong and determined as you were. “Ben’s family received many letters from people and citizens who expressed sympathy for the pain of loss and expressed respect and respect for Ben’s courage, unconditional commitment and commitment, and to be a model for all.” The family commander, Oren, told the family: “… I, as a company commander, heads at the head of the company. In front of me a man, a warrior, was walking with a wide back, and when he walked in front of me I felt safe. Ben safely led the company, and Ben would continue to lead the 51-year-old company. On his way, we will overcome the difficulty, and in the face of all the challenges we will stand firm. Thanks to Ben! A symbol for a man and a model warrior. … love you son, appreciate you for your bravery and courage. In the face of the terrorists, you stormed without fear. “If someone asked me what characterizes Ben, I would answer him – strength, strength and quiet. I remember a conversation with Ben who had a sentence that sums up all the words. This was during training at the Tze’elim base in the south. At the time I had white problems. Many times we were ‘upset’. He would do things that should not be done and I should have punished for the same reason that he would say ‘about mistakes paid’, and receive any punishment in peace and quiet. So I decided to try and understand why despite all the difficulties he has, he still continues. Ben looked at the ground as shyly as he did, kicked the sand and said, ‘Because of that!’ “I remember how much love you had, and your friends will testify about it. Even Superman would not be able to divide his time among as many people as you did … and most surprising is that in all the love you gave everyone there was more space and much … You gave your life out of love for the country, family and friends, and never wanted help, only You have left me and all of them a void in my heart that will never close … I will always remain in my heart. ” Nati Yitzhak wrote: “You were a brother to me. I’ve always taken an example from you-never to be sad and take it easy. You always knew how to smile and make us laugh even when we were a little despised, and that’s your greatness-the enormous humility and the laughter that never came down from your face. … You wanted to be at the point of the party so that if and when we encounter, you will be the first to manipulate so that your friends will not be harmed and you will protect them and the entire nation of Israel. “You would not care about your soul for these values, and so you did … love you.” Raz Menashe wrote: “Ben was willing to do anything for the friends and family. He always made sure everyone was not missing anything, just like Dad! Always inviting at his own expense, not letting anyone pay – a broad heart! Ben liked to enjoy life, to sit with friends on a little vodka with a hookah, and that was that-that was enough for him, he did not need more than that. But he was equally hard at work, barely sleeping. He was industrious, with a particularly high work ethic. … Anyone who knew him knew he was one of the rare people in this world. “Elad:” I thank you for every moment I had with you – I won a true friend, and only a true friend knows what you would give him. Son, for the one you loved you would give your soul, because you were like that – a huge soul with a huge heart, the purpose of giving it was at your foundation. Rest in peace. Love and miss”Another thing in Ben’s memory was written on the Maccabi Tel Aviv club’s” 12th player “website:” You can not forget the last minutes of someone who at that time was one of the people I was most connected to in the company. The shots coming to the house that caused you to go outside to find the terrorist, and the cries of the Negev wave ‘my sheep fell, my sheep fell, give fire, give fire!’ Not a night goes by without my thinking about my captivity, and that despite all the problems he always smiled, always with a joy of life. “In the memory of Ben, the composer and songwriter,” Reuven the Angel, “wrote a song that was recorded and distributed among Ben’s friends and admirers:” How is it that God took you from us / How is it? We will always know / all the friends / and all the friends / who were with you during the most beautiful hours of life / “All the time you wanted to be a combat soldier / red cheeks / such a healthy child / you called your mother / her homily / and after an hour you left us all in shock.” The incident that took place in Gaza The events commemorating Ben, carried out at the initiative of his family and close friends, are connected to his hobbies and his way of life, including a “cat-leg” tournament in memory of Ben, The ceremony is attended by members of the army and the neighborhood, and a medal in which Ben’s name is commemorated is given to all the participants. In 2008, a Torah scroll was written in Ben’s name.
