Ben Fernand and Mordechai-Gimpel. Born on December 31, 1973, in Moshav Shafir, eldest son of his parents, Almog studied at the elementary school and junior high school in Shapir and graduated from the Amit religious high school in Kiryat Malachi. His name was given to him because of his family’s stay on the Coral Island. Almog was a handsome baby, a very playful and sensitive child. He has had two major hobbies since the age of five, one of which was Judo and Karate, during which he spent his vacations during his military service. In one of the exercises, Almog Bati, who became his beloved and beloved girlfriend, competed. The second hobby was stamp sorting from all over the world. He had two other hobbies: one – reading – Almog was a bookworm and among his possessions was the last book he had read, “Murder on Shabbat Morning”; The second is crossword puzzles. Almog was a sturdy guy with great physical fitness and a strong desire to serve in a unit where he could express his ability. Almog was drafted into the Israel Defense Forces in late March 1992 and volunteered for the infantry. He joined the Givati Brigade with a sense of self-realization, where a period of a year and a half took place, including infantry recruits, basic training, a sabotage course, operational employment in Gaza and Lebanon. At the end of the period, he received the rank of sergeant and the badge of the fighter corps, and continued his service with a team of symbols on the Gaza-Lebanon lines, and only after his death did his family learn that he had been praised for his activity against terrorists in Gaza “Your physical strength and your endurance will never be forgotten. “I know that if you heard everything I felt about you when you were alive, it would bring back the paternal smile that you had and fill you with happiness.” “I will always remember you with the mortar you loved so much.” Almog always took others in. The last line in Lebanon should have been the last line before his release from the IDF. His mother asked him to shorten his service in Lebanon in two weeks, but Almog refused: “Mom, you see, it’s impossible to leave the guys alone, and if my position is not manned, it will hurt my friends.” Three days after this conversation, on October 29, 1994, Almog fell in combat in Lebanon, in a terrorist attack on a pumpkin outpost. He was laid to rest in the military section of the Massuot Yitzhak cemetery. He was twenty-one years old when he fell. Survived by his parents, and three brothers – Kobi, Shai and Eliko. In the picture, Almog, in his final moments, during a battle, radiates his characteristic look at me, and he is like a ray of light in a rainy day of hell and smoke. The infinite in Almog, all in the shadow of menacing death. ” Two months before his death, his good friend Ofer Harush was killed in the ambush of terrorists. Almog found it difficult to overcome the crisis. His family felt that something had changed. So he wrote to his friend in his last letter: “I love you so much, and life is running out and fluid from my hands and I stray. In the cemetery, the defense minister said, “He defended our communities against the murderers, and after the incident I was with the brigade commander in the area and we came back to see how Almog was killed. In a letter of condolence to the bereaved family, Chief of Staff Ehud Barak wrote: “Almog served as a combat soldier in the engineering division of the Givati Brigade and was described by his commanders as a determined and brave fighterYa is very proud of his military service. “Almog demonstrated a high level of professionalism both in the track and later in a team of sergeants. Almog performed every task he was assigned, and when the company encountered terrorists two months earlier, Almog displayed great determination and dedication to the mission. “His parents donated a memorial plaque to the shafir synagogue after his father’s death, and his father learned to write a scribe for a year and a half so that he could write a Torah scroll with his own hands. For a whole year, his father wrote a Torah scroll and completed the third memorial day for the Almog.
