On the circumstances of his death he says in a letter of condolence to his parents: “Aviv commanded an armored patrol that made its way from Kantara to the most northern stronghold on the banks of the canal. An artillery officer to watch the sources of the gunfire and on his way back to his half-track, a shell fell next to him and he was killed. “The commander says:” The seconds, which went up on the embankment to watch the enemy fire, in spite of the artillery fire that raged in the area and his fall while fulfilling his duty as a commander and a Jewish fighter, They may have more than anything else to express his way of life, principles and spiritual values From both a fighter and commander and a proud Jew who fought in recognition of the greatness of the meaning of all that we are the first line of fire of the State of Israel. The Suez Canal – – – His path as a warrior and commander was a marvel. He turned out to be a warrior with initiative, responsibility and energy. He was an unusually competent shady. His extraordinary resourcefulness and courage only added another layer and distinguished himself as a warrior and a commander. Aviv was deeply attached to our security problems and saw his place only among those who took an active and direct part in our security problems. But at the same time, your son, Aviv, was deeply attached to you. He loved you very much, and your anxiety, like the anxiety of every parents’ home, worried him in a special way. Everyday, when we were friends of Aviv, we made the tour in which Schory signed the path of his life. Shachori fell ‘- a harsh sentence is the one that has the most to educate generations. He signed the path of his life with his hand holding his weapon and the Lev of the Psalms as he always did in life. He smiled at the mighty sky, as if he were still shouting: ‘We can not have it!’ “In the house of Magen David Adom in Nazareth Illit, a library was established in his memory, bearing his name.
