Veteran wounded in Six-Day War, hero of ‘Ballada LeChovesh’, dies

Yoseph Chagual, a 77-year-old reservist who was wounded during fighting over Jerusalem in the 1967 Six-Day War, has passed away. His story of survival, thanks to medic Shlomo Apshtein’s heroism, later inspired lyrics by Dan Almagor set to music by Efi Netzer. Chagual recovered from his wounds and became a reservist champion throughout his military career.
