Jerafi, Yosef

Yosef, son of Saadia and Rachel Jerafi, was born in 1944 in Asmara, Abyssinia. The family immigrated to Israel in 1955 and Yosef became an Israeli in every way within a short period of time. He was drafted into the IDF in February 1962, and at the end of his regular service he continued in the career army as a sergeant. On 20 Iyar, May 10, 1966, he fell in a battle near Dvir and was brought to eternal rest in the cemetery in Ashkelon.
