Elraz, Mor Yehuda


Son of Nurit and Shimon. He was born on October 6, 1976 in Kiryat Ata. The elder brother of Shaked. Mor grew up in Kiryat Ata, began his elementary studies at the Sprinzak School, and graduated with honors from the Rogozin High School in the biological track. Moore loved reading very much and from a young age spent a lot of time reading books. He planned and planned a military career, read many books on military strategy and politics, and collected a handsome collection of books in this field. When he was in high school, he volunteered for Magen David Adom, and for three years in a row he participated in and assisted in the work of the ambulance crews.In March 1995, Mor enlisted in the IDF. At first he wanted to study medicine as part of the reserve, but when he refused, he enlisted in the Givati ​​Brigade and began his combat. Mor was sent to the officers ‘course and was sent to the officers’ training course in March 1997. In late 1997, Mor returned to the Givati ​​Brigade and was appointed as a commander In the following months he participated in many operational activities, and at the end of one of the events in Lebanon, during which his force encountered terrorists and Mor succeeded in killing them, Mor received a certificate of excellence from the Chief of Staff, Lt. Gen. Amnon Lipkin-Shahak. Maj. Gen. Yom-Tov Samia, for being an outstanding battalion commander who led the battalion to excellence. From the middle of 1998, when he began his army service, Mor became the battalion’s operations officer. He excelled in his position and was sent to study at the Military Academy of Command and Staff. For two years, until July 2001, he studied at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, where he completed an undergraduate degree in history and international relations. In one of the exercises during the course of his studies, Mor was asked to answer a citizen’s “complaint” about “the commanders in the lead.” In clear words, he explained: “Our combat soldiers, and even the combat army officers, who fight daily on the front line are aware of the dangers and the cruel consequences Which may cut their lives prematurely. Therefore, each and every one of them understands the magnitude of the responsibility placed on him, so that the citizens of the state will have a normal routine life … The price we are liable to pay at the risk of the senior officers is unbearable, but can we imagine a situation in which the IDF commander will not take part I believe that if we look at the Arab armies’ actions in this regard, we failed in educating our subordinates and commanders … We are an army that advocates and acts according to certain ethics and values, an army that educates all its soldiers and certainly its commanders to adhere to these values. The soldiers, who see that their commanders are endangering their lives for a higher cause, are even more willing to risk their own lives And to go wholeheartedly after their commanders, in the end we all have a common destiny and destiny by virtue of being citizens of the State of Israel, responsible for its security. ” During his studies, Moore was promoted to captain. At the end of his studies, Moore returned to Givati ​​and was appointed commander of the auxiliary company, a position reserved for veteran and experienced members of the company commanders. He was very successful in the job, and soon became a company commander admired by his soldiers, who wrote: “The space is short of containing everything there is to say about the commander, the fighter, the friend, the person. And you were all this-and much more. The father and mother of the company, the one who loved them all, appreciated everyone for being fighters, he beganSit in each and every one of us, and never give up, without compromises or discounts. “Sometimes I was afraid that you were not suited to the company, because I always said – the company needs someone tough, someone bad to be hard with the soldiers. You were too good, you could not hurt people, you were always with them, understood them, took care of all their SS problems, the soldiers always knew they could come into the office and talk to you about every problem they had. ” Yoni, a platoon commander under Moore’s command, wrote: “I got to know an exceptional commander, calm, decisive, you always gave a sense of security, everything was so important to you, constant investment. You brought the company up to a professional and moral level … Moore, you have no idea how much you’ve affected me. ” The battalion served in the Gaza Strip on security missions. Two weeks before Moore’s death, the journalist Eitan Rabin wrote an article in Maariv about the battalion’s activity, among them: “Our missions are thwarting terrorist activity, gathering intelligence and demonstrating presence on the ground … The soldiers know the work and are prepared for the mission. In the end, we all understand why we are here – so that the citizens of Kfar Darom can sleep peacefully. ” On February 18, 2002, Mor was killed in a battle near Kissufim, after soldiers shot and killed Ahuva Amergi, who was traveling on the Kissufim road, during which the company commander Mor and Staff Sergeant Amir Mansouri were killed. At twenty-five, Moore was in the fall. He was buried in the military section of the Kiryat Ata cemetery and left behind his parents and brother: “Your path is our will, and we will continue to maintain and maintain it. Standing tall and elevated, we will continue on the path you have paved, out of complete faith in the righteousness of your path. Your image will always stand in front of our eyes, wherever we turn … be sure that when you are up there looking after us in heaven, we are down here to continue to perform our tasks in the best way, as you would demand and expect from us. ” The most perfect ones I know. Always good, considerate, never angry, always listening and always finding sense in everything you do, even when it seems pointless and difficult … I learned from Moore so many things I take with me every day and every minute, and probably to the end. ” To the army: “To be good, outstanding, is not really a problem for one like you … But modesty is the one that made me so special. To do something with honors and not to run to tell the guys … to prove yourself every time anew … a modest, high-quality, modest man – that’s what your name reminds me of every time anew. We do not have many such officers anymore. And for those who are there, I would ask you to be careful. “
