Fox, Pesach-Aryeh

Son of Itil and Israel, was born in April 1914 in the city of Opole, in the Lublin district of Poland. Together with his mother, he immigrated to Israel in 1935. On September 23, 1948, local Arabs and the Legion attacked his outpost. The forces were surprised and forced to retreat in light of the enemy’s superiority, and many were injured in the harsh retreat. The next day our forces attacked and took over the outpost, but Pesach-Aryeh fell on September 24, 1948. He was laid to rest in the military cemetery at Nahalat Yitzhak. Shortly after his fall, his mother died in grief over the death of her only child.
