The Israel Dog Unit, a nonprofit specializing in working dogs, paid tribute to fallen Sergeant Major Yosef Haim (Yossi) Hershkovitz on Tuesday. The tribute consisted of an exhibition dedicated to the special needs community in the town of Gevaot in the Gush Etzion region.
At the request of the Israel Police, the event was held as part of a community and police appreciation day led by the Etzion Police Station. The IDU's volunteers displayed the capabilities of their dogs for local residents, schoolchildren, and individuals with special needs.
The day also featured participation from the Beitar Illit Fire Department, the Israel Police Band, and other guests.
Yossi's parents were honored by Efrat Mayor Dovi Shefler and other officials during the ceremony.
