Solomon, a resident of Be’er Ya’akov, is survived by his parents, two sisters and brother.
He had joined the border guards a year and a half ago. Six months later, he was injured in a terrorist attack. During a patrol along the same fence at Har Adar, a terrorist jumped out of the bushes and stabbed him in the hand.
Solomon returned to active duty after only two months. His friends said he rushed back because he “loved his country and wanted to protect it.” His commander described him as an exemplary soldier who was also extremely modest and dedicated. “Only a year ago, he prevented harm from coming to Jerusalem residents by stopping a terrorist attack with his bare hands” he said.
