Ezra, son of Zahava and Avraham-Zion Levi, was born on the 31st of May, 1931, in the Old City of Jerusalem. Ezra turned out to be a good sniper and was worthy of being transferred to the most extreme positions. Although he was allowed to stay in the new city and live with the owner of the workshop where he worked as a plumber, he managed to enter the Old City to protect his family and to obtain weapons from the British. Ezra fell near the Zion Gate in the Old City of Jerusalem on May 14, 1948. His name was engraved on the monument erected in the military cemetery on Mount Herzl in memory of the fallen soldiers of the Jewish Quarter and the memory of fallen soldiers In the battle for Jerusalem and was brought for burial on the Mount of Olives.
