Lieberman, Doron

Doron, son of Bluma and Yitzhak, was born on July 3, 1953 in Haifa, where he studied at the “Zichron-Yosef” elementary school and continued on to the mechanical high school in the name of A. Shub. He moved to the Air Force Technical School, where he studied electrical equipment and auxiliary equipment, and Doron’s parents, Holocaust survivors, immigrated to Israel after World War II, even though their relatives in America suggested that they immigrate to the United States and join them. They insisted on building their home in Israel and raising their children, but their economic situation was difficult, but they tried to give their children as much as they could. From the time of his childhood, Doron was careful to maintain order and cleanliness, and would help his mother with household chores, and over the years, when he grew up and became a boy, he tried not to take money from his parents and to reduce his needs. He did everything he could to keep his parents from worrying and he often called home to calm them down and ask for their safety, and he was very attached to all his family, but especially he loved and admired his mother, who always cared for her, remembered her birthdays, wrote to her and respected her. He used to say he wished himself and his good friends a wife like herself. Doron was a modest, courteous, gentle and sensitive boy. He was very friendly and his friends said that “for a friend’s sake he was ready to climb mountains and hills.” His close friends and he were a cohesive group – together they studied, played soccer together and went out together. Even during their army service, they tried to maintain contact and meet frequently. Doron was drafted into the Israel Defense Forces in early July 1971. He served in the Air Force Technical School and was trained as an auxiliary electrician for aircraft and ground equipment electricians, After a while he was able to put him in a nearby unit, because he was given more frequent vacations and wanted to be a lot at home to help his parents, but he gave up his right and moved to another unit in the Marshal. In this unit, too, he fulfilled his duties with devotion and loyalty and was loved and respected for everything. In the Yom Kippur War, Doron served in southern Sinai, in the Mishal area, and on 10 October 1973 he was hit and killed in an enemy air attack. He was laid to rest in the military cemetery in Haifa. Survived by his parents and brother. After his fall, he was promoted to sergeant. The booklet “In Memory – The Story of the Lives and Deaths of Four Air Force Martyrs” is included in the words of his family and friends: “On the outside he was handsome and his character expressed a certain toughness, but as someone who knew him, I knew very well that he was sensitive … One of his wonderful qualities was that he was a good friend … I’ll never believe he will not come back, we will not hear him again … “
