He had a strong and healthy body, an enthusiastic athlete, and a member of the Zevulun marine sports association. Moshe devoted himself to gymnastics and folk dancing. He was cheerful by nature, good-hearted and honest, a faithful evil in joy and in trouble. At the beginning of the War of Independence, Moshe (who had recently moved to Holon) was stationed in a combat unit in the Holon suburb of Tel Arish, where he was lightly wounded. Dagon On June 10, 1948, on the eve of the first truce, his unit participated in an operation designed to thwart a possible attack on the previously occupied Sarafand camp and to create final facts for the truce. The number of which was ten times greater, and the unit was forced to retreat and Moshe was forced to cover up the retreat of his comrades, who did not remove his machine gun until he fell, (June 11, 1948). He was brought to rest with his friends who fell in the same battle at the military cemetery in Nahalat Yitzhak.
