Guland, Sabo

Son of Shoshana and Shlomo, was born on June 1, 1928 in Tel Aviv. He studied at the elementary school and moved to the Balfour Gymnasium. From his youth he excelled in deep thought, which over time found expression in various literary attempts, in poems, stories, philosophical thoughts and more. After completing his service he underwent surgery, was forced to give up his service in the Palmach and began to study Hebrew, Arabic and history literature at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Sabo was very fond of his studies, but immediately after the UN General Assembly resolution on partition he stopped (in the second year) and joined the group of recruits and with them participated in the many battles in the outskirts of Jerusalem, Who were sent as reinforcements to Gush Etzion after the large attack on the Gush on January 14, 1948. The fighters left Hartuv on the night of 15-16 January and were loaded with weapons, ammunition and equipment, but due to the late hour of departure and the difficulties of the road, they could not reach Gush Katif in the night. At dawn, the department was discovered by villagers in the area of ​​the villages of Beit Natif, Jaba and Surif, who called the Arabs of the area to the area and surrounded the department. The fighters organized themselves on one of the hills (the “Battle Hill” today) and fought with the masses of Arabs until they all fell in battle on January 16, 1948. Sabo was brought to a mass grave in Kfar Etzion on November 17, 1949). After a year and a half his body was transferred together with the rest of Gush Etzion to eternal rest in the military cemetery on Mount Herzl in Jerusalem.
