Zechariah, Shlomo (“Solly”)

Son of Moshe and Chaya. Born in Romania on the 9th of Tammuz, July 6, 1949. He completed his elementary studies in Romania and immigrated to Israel in 1958. After completing his elementary studies at the Pinsker School in Kiryat Ata, he continued his high school studies at the “Amal”. In May 1967, he was drafted into the IDF. Before he completed his compulsory service, he was wounded while performing his duties near Ashdot Ya’akov and died of his wounds on the 3rd of Cheshvan, October 25, 1968. He was brought to eternal rest in the military cemetery in Haifa. Shlomo was a symbol of devotion, comradeship and love of his parents and homeland. He bravely fell in the face of an enemy, who must know, that by force, he could not frighten us.
