Son of-Zahava and Nehemiah was born on July 16, 1930 in Tel Aviv to a Bukharian family that immigrated to Israel about 60 years ago, when he moved to a rural settlement when he was 4 years old. Who trained in Kfar Giladi, where he practiced military training and took part in illegal illegal immigration operations, took care of his parents and returned to them to help them, dreamed of going to the Negev and once expressed his aspirations: “The Negev calls us young people. “Avraham joined the army on May 23, 1948, completed a brigade commander’s course and took part in the conquest of Kfar-Anu and recently served in the Landing Company in the Israeli Navy. On the night of July 17-18, 1948, Operation “Death to the Intruder” took place, in an attempt to break through the Negev. For this operation, the landing company reinforced the Givati Brigade and was ordered to attack the village of Beit ‘Afa to the north, together with the Givati company that attacked from the south. The landing company broke into the village and clung to its north, but the attack from the south failed. The Egyptians concentrated their efforts against the landing company that had seized the village and eventually had to retreat. This battle fell on the 11th of Tammuz 5708 (18.7.1948). On the 17th of Tishrei 5710 (October 9, 1949) he was laid to rest in the military cemetery at Nahalat Yitzhak.
