And joined the nucleus, which established the outpost in Mevo Hama.) He was considered knowledgeable in the Gadna classes and during his travels His knowledge of scouting, he was an outstanding student, although he did not devote all his time to studies, he had a quick grasp of the exact professions and this helped him in his studies. He also became a leader by nature, and this contributed to his success in the movement and later in the army. During his vacation he loved to spend time with his friends on trips, and thus became familiar with the landscapes and sites of the country. He also excelled in sports, especially in industries that required willpower and passivity. Pini was a devoted and loving son to his parents, and as a result he accepted their request and postponed his enlistment until he was drafted into the army. Pini was drafted into the IDF in mid-October 1965, and his service was postponed as was customary with regard to reservists. He finished his studies at the Technion in the first year with great success and took a course in the army, and at the end of the second year, the Six Day War broke out and Pini volunteered for a sabotage unit and encouraged some of his comrades to do the same. “We were at the Technion at the time, a few weeks before the end of the second year. Pini and the other seven were assigned to the division’s engineering corps. As ‘saboteurs’, we worked in agricultural work and fortifications, mainly in the Nirim farm on the border of the Gaza Strip. The tension was enormous; We did not know when the war would break out and we worked many hours every day in order to be able to fortify and strengthen as much as possible. As usual, Pini encouraged, volunteered and dragged others to perform any difficult task. Two days before the war, we were transferred to the southern corner of the ‘front of the Gaza Strip’ – to Kerem Shalom. – Pini’s class was sent to the brigade’s armored battalion and my unit was sent to assist a paratroop battalion. When Pini came to the armored corps, he was impressed by the “serious” nature of the battalion. He was concerned that if something happened, it would not be for this battalion to carry out the main tasks and it could not agree to engage in “marginal” tasks. So he made up his mind to join the Paratroopers Brigade and so it happened that he suddenly came to the paratroopers’ battalion and pressed me to change with him. There was a brief and fierce struggle between two strong desires to fight, and eventually Pini overcame him – and we changed. “On the many activities of Pini and his friends – the volunteer students – the commander of the Technion’s Dean of Students Unit wrote:” I have no words to describe their willingness, The diligence and sacrifice of these guys. There was no task that he did not do with willingness, desire, and sacrifice. Two of them were wounded while rescuing wounded people from a mine. For a short period of timeWon the love of all the soldiers and commanders of the platoon, who have been together for many years. I would be grateful if he could find a way to convey my deepest gratitude and gratitude. “The dean wrote a letter to Pini, concluding:” We are especially proud of you because you have done in the spirit of your volunteering and sacrifice. Together with the rest of the country’s citizens in general and the student population in particular, you did your best for the war effort, and you praised the heroism of our people. “After the war, Pini returned to the Technion and completed his second year of studies. The army, because he believed that he could contribute as much as he could to the homeland, and that he would be able to derive mental satisfaction from military service.In early November 1967, Pini returned to the army and continued with his favorite corps, the Armored Corps, and was accepted into a tank commander course. It is clear that he is receiving satisfaction and happiness after a tank commanders’ course In June 1968, Pini assumed the rank of lieutenant colonel and was appointed platoon commander, and after a relatively short period of time he was awarded the rank of Lieutenant and First In January 1969, he was appointed Operations Officer in the Battalion, and later served as Commander of the Tank Company. He completed his course successfully in March 1970. During his military service, he performed all his duties while in love with the army, taking care of his subordinates and being willing to perform, and sometimes at the expense of his vacations and visits at home. During the period of his service as a company commander, Pini began thinking about his release from the army, and he was about to marry his wife, even when the wedding was scheduled and the apartment was bought Three months before his release, Pini was commander of a force for an armored raid on the Fatahland area in Lebanon, Shortly after that, he was injured when his tank was hit and he was transferred to Rambam Hospital in Haifa and soon his condition improved but during his recovery he learned that his unit was carrying out operations across the border. Although his recovery has not yet been completed, Pini left everything and while he was bandaged he returned to command his soldiers on the Golan Heights and in the armored raid that took place in Syrian territory. When his mother asked him to stay for a while in the convalescent home, Pini replied that the soldiers he had trained would not be able to fight without him. In the last raid all the missions were carried out in full and the force returned safely and safely. Pini gave up the sanatorium and stayed in the unit. After about a week, he began to feel feverish and he became very tired. He was then transferred to a hospital and when his condition worsened, he was flown to Tel Hashomer, but to no avail. On the 27th of Tammuz 5770 (27.7.1970), he died and was put to rest at the military cemetery in Haifa. He was promoted to captain after they fell. The commander of his unit wrote a letter of condolence to his family and said, “He began his career as a tank commander, and since then he has drawn our attention to his natural talent to lead his men to battle with his broad education and intelligence.
