How Ido lived
Ido, son of Shalhevet and Yaniv, brother to Rotem and Adia Hadasa, grew up in Mitzpe Ramon, raised to love the land and the people. A graduate of the “Minsharim Kalu” pre-army academy, he served as a tank commander in the 77th Battalion, 7th Armored Brigade. On October 7th, when the alarms sounded, he got his soldiers into shelter and rushed to help a fellow soldier standing guard alone at the gate. He went into battle in shorts and sandals with just his personal weapon and one magazine, fighting exposed against many terrorists, and fell in heroic combat. He was 21 years old when he fell.
