Mazal and Moshe. Born on May 30, 1982 in Yehud, a younger brother to Meir and Tova, grandson of a large and well-knit family, a veteran of Yehud, Yossi was a handsome, mischievous boy, and loved by his brothers, who was fond of all his neighbors and family members Yossi received his basic education at Yehudah Halevy School in Yehud, “an intelligent child, with quite a bit of mischief and lots of charm,” said the school principal, “my friend and assistant in everything that is needed. Gold hands to him. This is the genes – and what can be the product of the home like the Talbi family? “Yossi continued his junior high school at Kiryat Savyonim and completed his high school at the high school in Tel Aviv:” … a quiet and serious boy who has a lot of desire to give of himself. During the school year I discovered another side, so real and unique in Yossi’s character, that he had wonderful mischievousness, a youthfulness that was accompanied by extraordinary humor that infected the friends around him, and sometimes the teachers. “Yossi often preferred to play basketball on the sports field, When the studies were usually the last priority, but in the last year he left high school in Yehud and moved to the Ankori High School, where he realized that the hour of truth had come, and that he had successfully completed all his matriculation exams. , Always surrounded by many friends, for whom and for the sake of his family was willing to give it all “His friends say:” Yossi was a person who could not say ‘no’. Everything they asked of him, no matter when or in what situation, was answered in the affirmative. Since Yossi was such a man, we could never refuse anything he wanted. “Yossi was a handsome young man, smart and clever, always smiling gently on his delicate face, and everything, even if he did not like his taste and taste, he could accept with full understanding. “Yossi loved to travel with his family and friends, and he made the most significant trip on the eve of his enlistment in the IDF when he went to Greece with two childhood friends. He spoke extensively about the many experiences from that trip long after his return. Among his many plans for the day after his release from the army were a plan for a trip to the Far East, and a program for a trip to Greece with his father. During his high school studies, Yossi met Little, who was his close and beloved friend for four years, until his death. In November 2000, Yossi enlisted in the IDF, and he was assigned to an elite combat unit. He was assigned to the Nachshon unit, which specializes in complex activities in Judea and Samaria. The commander of Yossi, Lt. Col. Tzvika, said: “Yossi completed a combat course and went to a course for squad commanders, where his commanders gave him compliments and compliments on his performance and his skills … On his return Yossi enlisted as a squad commander in the platoon company, integrated into the new company, quickly became familiar with all the soldiers and commanders and placed his special mark on all those around him. ” Elad, a friend of Yossi in his military service, writes: “From the first moment you got to the company, we knew that another friend had come to the group.” We gradually got to know you and realized that there was a real friend here, Talk and give advice. ” On the 19th of Tammuz 5762 (June 19, 2002) Yossi was killed in a battle in Qalqiliya, where the unit arrived at a four-story building in the city in search of a wanted terrorist, General Intelligence Chief Mazen Suliman. Fire of the terrorist,Yossi, who headed a reconnaissance force and arrived at the scene immediately after the encounter, volunteered to enter the building and rescue the wounded man, even though he knew that there was an armed terrorist in the area. To enter, and stormed the terrorist. In the exchange of fire he killed the terrorist, but was mortally wounded. He was evacuated to Meir Hospital in Kfar Sava, where he died shortly thereafter. The company commander, Major Shlomi Cohen, was also killed. Yossi was twenty years old when he fell. After his death, he was promoted to the rank of Staff Sergeant, and Yossi was laid to rest in the military section of the Yehud cemetery, leaving behind his parents, brother, sister and friend. To the building in order to save his commander, even though he knew that there were still armed Palestinians in the area, the heroism he displayed during the battle exceeds any verbal description, and I can only say that his behavior and actions set us a high standard to emulate … Yossi’s memory and his actions will serve as a symbol and example for the battalion’s soldiers , And the story of his heroism will be told a lot. ” Nadav, Yossi’s commander, who was appointed company commander after the battle, eulogized him: “You proved to everyone, Yossi, that you are leading, that you are a commander who looks back at your soldiers and leads them forward. You are out to rescue Shlomi, the company commander, and you have lost your life … We will never succeed in completing your position in the company, our class book is valuable to each of us, because you are there with us, laughing. ” From the words of the brigade commander, Col. David: “Initiative, courage, striving for contact, adherence to the mission, brotherhood of fighters – these are the leading values on which generations of IDF soldiers grow up. I recognized all this in Yossi in the three minutes before he entered the company to rescue the company commander, and he entered the building with courage and without hesitation, and he was determined to rescue his commander. “The soldiers of Nachshon wrote to the family:” In the short time that Yossi was a commander in our company, we managed to see and recognize that he was a special person, “said Yossi Talbi, the son of Mazal and Moshe Talbi. “I am your twin soul, I waited for you to come back and give me the big, strong hug you always made when you arrived. For me you’re still here, deep inside your heart … Yossi, we’re here The people you left love you and even admire you. For me you were always a king, and still a king. I’m here now to remember, and never forget. “Galit and Amit, Yossi’s cousins wrote:” A halo of goodness shone from your eyes / to anyone who needs two hands / if you had to lean, two shoulders extended, and when you asked for a little, This is your motto, and it does not seem to us that there is a soldier who is more poisoned than you. “We are now going through a difficult period, hoping that we will be remembered for the best. He was named after her brother, Yossi Or, to continue the tremendous light on the day Yossi fell, and his family commemorated Yossi’s name in a number of commemorative activities: Yahud, published a memorial book and set up a website that bears the name “The Story of a Warrior and a Hero.” Also, Yossi’s name and life story are commemorated in the liaison corps in Yehud – on the website, the memorial site and the memorial. D. (September 8, 2004), the OC Central Command gave Colonel Joseph (Tali) a personal citation, which was given to his family, “for courage, determination, devotion to the missionAnd giving a personal example. “
