Gezaz, Yehuda

Son of Haim and Shoshana. He was born in Baghdad, the capital of Iraq, and immigrated to Israel in 1951. He then settled in Moshav Geva-Hacarmel, where he graduated from elementary school, and then attended an agricultural high school Kfar Galim, where he studied electronics and telephone engineering, and after that he earned a living from a telephone engineer in the Haifa District, and was a member of Hapoel because he loved the game very much. He was a religiously observant Jew and was conscripted into the IDF in February 1963. He served in the regular army and later served in reserve duty. Before the Six-Day War, he was again called to the flag and was wounded in a battle that took place at the Qabatiya junction in the Valley of Dotan on the second day of the battles, and died of his wounds after eighteen days, on the 16th of Sivan 5727 (24.6.1967). He was laid to rest at the military cemetery in Haifa. The parents commemorated the name of their son by bringing a Torah scroll to the synagogue in Geva-Carmel, because this act was undoubtedly according to the spirit of their son, who adheres to his religion and observes its commandments. In a magazine of the “Talmim” moshav movement, in a booklet dedicated to the boys and members of the moshavim who fell in the Six Day War, his name was immortalized. In Volume 4 of “Goily Ash”, the bag of the estate of the sons who fell in Israel’s wars, was brought from his estate. He was also given a special page in a pamphlet issued by comrades in memory of the heroes of the “Barak”
