Franco, David


Son of Nissim and Allegra. He was born on February 14, 1950 in Jaffa. When he reached school age, he attended elementary school in his hometown and completed his studies and excelled in them because of his talents. Afterward he did not continue his studies and worked as a diamond merchant. He was drafted into the IDF in November 1967 and thought of making a military career, but before completing one year of duty, he fell on duty during the tour when his vehicle was on a mine. He was laid to rest in the military cemetery in Kiryat Shaul. The commander of his unit in his letter of condolences to his parents wrote: “David served as an example to his comrades and commanders in the unit. His achievements have enabled him to be among the unit’s candidates for a commanding course … We, his fellow officers and commanders, will take the example of his dedication to the security of the State before our eyes and continue to carry out the routine security tasks and safeguard the IDF’s achievements. “
