Jacob, Resi (“Yankele”)

Son of Salim and Jamila. He was born in 1936 in the city of Basra, Iraq, where he studied in an elementary school and two high school classes, and in 1951 immigrated to Israel, where he worked in diamonds. Afterward, he would go on reserve duty at the time of his call. He was very quiet by nature and kind. It never happened to anyone. Immediately after his discharge from the IDF, he married a wife and began to build a family in the hope of advancing his diamond polishing work, and he loved his family very much, and after returning home he rested with the children on the streets of Netanya. This time he said: “This is not the Sinai system; It’s a big war. It is impossible to know whether I will return from it “- and his expression indicated that his Lev had predicted that he would not return, and that indeed, on the second day of the Six-Day War, on the 26th of Iyar 5727 (June 6, 1967) He was a member of the engineering corps, and the half-track of his platoon commander, who was moving in the company’s company to rescue casualties, was hit by an enemy tank cannon, and so Resi found his death. He left a wife and two children. He was buried in the military cemetery in Nahariya and was later transferred to eternal rest in the Netanya military cemetery. In the “eternal glory of the sons of Netanya who fell on their watch,” a page was devoted to him, with details about him and details of his life.
