Dov participated in many battles throughout the Golan Heights and his commander said that Dov “fought bravely, heroically, with dedication and sacrifice.” The Syrians, who appreciated the strategic importance of the Hermon post, poured many forces into the Mojave And the soldiers of the “Golani” Brigade were on their way to the Golani Brigade and on the 26th of Tishrei 5734 (October 22, 1973) the battle began. “We found ourselves surrounded by a ring of fire. Each shot was a snip. The bullets whistled horrifying whistles, but there was no choice-we jumped forward.” On October 22, 1973, in the Battle of the Hermon, C-for-Charlie led the 17th Brigade in the Battle of Mount Hermon, When they began shooting at her from Hill 16, C-for-Charlie sent a group of Company A, which was named by the late Sgt. Dov Rosenthal. They began to climb the hill and encountered a Syrian position. The encounter was in the dark, and the force returned fire to the sources of fire according to the Sharaf. Staff Sergeant Dov Rosenthal zipped forward to correct the snipers. He was hit by one of the snipers, but raised himself again to report where the snipers were – and then was shot and killed. Dov was brought to eternal rest in the military cemetery in Kiryat Shaul, leaving a mother and two brothers behind him, and after his fall he was promoted to the rank of First Sergeant, and Dov’s name was commemorated on a monument, as well as in the booklet “Lohemei Golani” in the works of Oz and Mofet, and in the booklet “Not the Words Speak of Death.”
