These were discovered in many cases in which he acted, such as the last time, when Mordekhai fell in the beginning to dismantle the explosive charges – with the intention of not hurting others or endangering others. “At the end of his letter, the commander wrote:” Your son fell for the achievement of achievements, Who fought our war. Dear parents, your son was a hero! “His parents published a book called” Moti “in memory of him, and they contributed to the establishment of a cultural room in his name in the farm of Neot HaGolan, founded by his classmates and Motti.
