At night he would go to the enemy lines in the role of the driver of the car of the saboteurs, who dealt with the detonation of the killers. On February 9, 1948, he joined the army, underwent short training and was sent to the Negev. One day, when he was carrying supplies from one locality to another, his car got on a mine and he suffered a concussion. He was then transferred to work at the Ruhama workshop where he was hit by a shrapnel in the leg during the sounding of the farm. The Negev Brigade participated in the conquest of Be’er Sheva, Bir Asluj and other villages. On the eve of the Iraqi-Suweidan police, he returned from a vacation at his parents’ home to the Negev to repair the vehicles that were about to take part in the operation, and on the same day he also dealt with the removal of damaged cars from the front lines.
