"I am broken and shattered. This child has been my whole life," said Baruch Ben Yigal, his only son, the late Sgt. Amit Ben Yigal, a fighter in the Golani Patrol, killed by a stone throw on his head during an operation to arrest suspects in the village. He will work at the Menashe Regional Division in Samaria. 

The father told his son in an interview with Network B here: "My son was on a trip to Poland as part of Lich High School. He called me from there and started crying. He told me that he understood the meaning of hope and the Israeli flag, I want to enlist in my combat. My dear, understand the meaning, you are an only son. "He answered me:" Father, we have no other country. "I went with him to Tel Hashomer and signed him. I hugged him there and told him that I was proud of your decision. He grew up in a very Zionist home. You are the people of Israel. "

He added: "I wish no parent would taste this. I don't know how to proceed from here. During the Yom Kippur War, I lost my cousin. Who would have thought the family would have two voids?"

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said: "On my behalf and on behalf of the citizens of Israel, I would like to send sincere condolences to the family of Amit Ben Yigal who was killed last night in operational activities by Ben wrongs. As has happened in all cases in recent years, Israel's long hand will reach the terrorist and bring an account with him. "

Defense Minister Naftali Bennett wrote in a statement this morning: "First Sergeant Amit Ben Yigal fell down tonight while defending Israel's security. On behalf of the security establishment, I would like to extend condolences to the dear Ben Yigal family. Of blessed memory".
