On the way, between Be’er Tuvia and the tower, there was a serious accident to the car they were driving. After they could not get help from the passing buses, Yitzhak joined the driver of an Arab bus to call for help from the nearest police station.

On Yitzhak’s way of volunteering in the midst of the bloody riots, his friends said: “A lottery took place for those who went out to this guard … The friend’s friend got up in a conversation crying and said that she had no one else in his life. : “I will go out in his place, because I have no one to cry after me.” His history was commemorated in the book “Elite-Youth” by Bracha Habas.
