Kagan, Yitzhak

He was born in 1911 in Riga, Latvia. In his youth he studied in Latvia in a technical school. In 1933 he immigrated to Eretz Israel. Here he joined the General Federation of Workers and went to work in the “Kedma” manufacturing plant. In April 1939 he joined the police. On the 16th of Tammuz (3.7.1939) he was on duty in Tel-Haim, a settlement point near Tel Aviv, which had been deserted for almost a year due to the severe attacks on it during the bloody events. That same day the spot was attacked again and Yitzhak was seriously injured and died a few hours later from his wounds at the Hadassah Hospital in Tel Aviv. He was brought to eternal rest in the cemetery in Nahalat Yitzhak, in the plot for fallen soldiers of the Hagana and the illegal immigration.
