Former General Avigdor "Yanush" Ben Gal has been laid to rest at the Kiryat Shaul military cemetery in Tel Aviv.
Ben Gal passed away yesterday (Saturday) at the age of 80, after an extended illness.
As the commander of the 7th Armored Brigade in 1973, he was one of the few senior IDF officers to understand the danger of imminent war. The standards he set for his unit have been credited with saving Israel during the Yom Kippur War.
