Yigal Vax
53 years old
Moshav Netiv HaAsara
Yigal Vax, 53, of Netiv HaAsara, was one of two brothers who fought to defend their community during the October 7 attack. As terrorists entered the moshav, Yigal joined the effort to protect residents. His brother Amit was fighting on another side of the community, and neither knew the other had been killed. Their family later remembered the brothers together for the courage with which they defended their home. Yigal’s final actions reflected a commitment to the people and community around him.
