His childhood years in the farm passed peacefully until the outbreak of the War of Independence and with the other children of the farm also turns Amnon to Haifa, from the line of fire on the front of the Jordan Valley. At the end of the war, the family left the farm and moved for a period of one year to Moshav Kfar Yehoshua in the Jezreel Valley. In 1950, the family relocated to the Neve Oz neighborhood near Petah Tikva, where he attended elementary school until eighth grade. In the wake of his father, who managed to run a farm in the northern Negev, the family moved back to the Afridar neighborhood in Ashkelon. When Amnon completed his elementary studies there, he continued high school and completed his studies there in 1962. The pioneering atmosphere that prevailed throughout the years left its mark on the youth in its simplicity, sincerity and popularity. By nature, Amnon was a quiet, shy boy, serious and diligent, devoted and loyal to any purpose he clung to. The thirst for knowledge, which had been planted in him since his youth, grew as he developed.

Therefore, he did not hesitate to explain and convince him, even though he could have made do with the order alone. The same thoroughness in which he led him to master all the technical and theoretical components of the fighting – until at times there was a professional argument over what Amnon said. “The same sergeant said that in those conversations with the soldiers he spoke frequently about purity of arms, The Egyptians, and not the civilians – and his words always came out of the Lev. On June 5 Amnon broke into his company at Sinai; His company was the first force to cross the border. The force exceeded enemy artillery ranges on the southern outskirts of Rafah – and Amnon, who was at the head of the column of intruders, encountered the enemy first – and fell; This was, as stated, on the first day of the Six-Day War, on 26 June 1967. He was buried in the military cemetery in Bari and was later transferred to eternal rest in the Kiryat Shaul military cemetery. His direct commander during the war later told of him that “he excelled in a marvelous combination of perfect discipline and good spirit, his discipline was not out of hand, he had self-discipline that affected all his subordinates, and along with discipline he had a friendly spirit, but not a” socialist. ” He was always pleased, he never complained, I always saw him with a pleasant smile, and even though he was one or two years older than his soldiers, I felt that they loved him like a father or an older brother. ” A typical line regarding his personality Fleet”The last words I heard from him by radio when we saw Bedouins on the road were: ‘Do not shoot civilians, we do not fight them!'” After they fell, he was promoted to the rank of captain. “Published by the Municipality of Ashkelon, a few pages were dedicated to him and his image.
