Levi, Ido

Ido, son of Tzippora and Yechezkel Levi, was born in 1933 in Iraq, and immigrated to Israel with his parents in 1936. In 1955 he was orphaned from his father and began working in the laundromat to support his mother. When the siege of the Jewish Quarter began, he served in the Gadna. On the 18th of Iyar (27.5.1948), Ido was hit by the enemy’s shell and was killed instantly. His name was engraved on the monument erected in the military cemetery on Mount Herzl in memory of those who perished in the Jewish Quarter and in memory of soldiers who fell in the battle for Jerusalem. Ido was buried on the Mount of Olives.
