Maimon, Moshe (“Bishi”)

Moshe, the youngest son of Prim and Dzheria Maimon, was born on 15 November 1940 in the city of Hazab in Tunisia. After graduating from elementary school in his homeland, his parents immigrated to Israel in 1955, but he left them in France and he immigrated with the Youth Aliyah. In Israel he studied for three years in Mikveh Israel. Moshe was a truck driver and worked on a tractor. In February 1959 he was drafted into the IDF and served in the Armored Corps. After his discharge he would occasionally go on reserve duty, and during that period he was also in the Six-Day War, when he fell in the battle for Jenin on the second day of the battles, 27 Iyar (6.6.1967), when a shell penetrated the half-track which he was driving, in a company vehicle to rescue casualties. He left a wife and a baby about six months old. He was laid to rest in the military cemetery in Afula and was later transferred to the eternal rest of the Hadera cemetery.
