Tamim, Yehuda (Aryeh)

In the winter of 1948, at the outbreak of the War of Independence, Yehuda participated in the Etzel unit in operations against the Arabs and in the battle for northern Jaffa, Ramle, and then at the head of the Irgun. He fell there on thet 21st of Iyar, May 30, 1948. On the 6th of Kislev 5713 (24.11.1952) he was laid to rest at the military cemetery on Mount Herzl in Jerusalem.
