Hasson, Yosef

Son of Avraham and Miriam. He was born on April 14, 1933 in Cairo, the capital of Egypt. He immigrated to Israel in 1951. In July 1952, he joined the IDF, and in the last operation, in which Yosef fell, he was wounded in the leg and even though his commander forbade him to go out with his friends, he insisted that he did not want to miss this combat operation (12.8.1953) and was brought to rest at the military cemetery in Kiryat Shaul. His memory was mentioned in Uri Milstein’s book “Wars of the Paratroopers.”
