YIGAL ALON (10 OCTOBER 1918, D. KHASHHON, RASHIT – 29 FEBRUARY 1980, U.S. B. BADER, Y. B. BADR, WAS AN ISRAELI MILITARY AND POLITICIAN, WHO WAS THE COMMANDER OF THE PALMACH, FROM THE HEADS OF THE IDF IN THE WAR OF INDEPENDENCE, FROM THE HEAD OF THE LABOR PARTY, PRIME MINISTER OF ISRAEL (FOR 19 DAYS), THE PRIME MINISTER OF ISRAEL, AND THE PRIME MINISTER OF ISRAEL.

ALON, A NATIVE OF MESS SWEAR, WHO DEFENDED THE COLONY’S FIELDS FROM HIS YOUTH, LATER JOINED THE GINOSSER KIBBUTZ AND THE LABOUR MOVEMENT, WHICH HAD AN IDEOLOGICAL CHANGE FROM HIS HABITAT. DURING THE ARAB REVOLT, HE JOINED THE "DEFENSE" AS NOTRE AND THE FATAH FIGHTERS, AND THEN TO THE PALMACH, WHERE HE WAS DECORATED AS A COMMANDER OF A COMPANY AND COMMANDER OF A UNIT OF ARABS IN SYRIA, AND CAME TO COMMAND THE PALMACH AS THE DISCIPLE OF ISAAC FIELD AND HIS VISION. AS A COMMANDER IN THE PALMACH DEALT WITH THE INCREASE OF THE ORGANIZATION, ORGANIZED IN BAGHDAD, AND ENCOURAGED ITS MEMBERS IN A DIFFICULT TIME FOR THE ORGANIZATION, AGAINST THE RECRUITMENT OF THE BRITISH ARMY IN WORLD WAR II. AS PART OF THE JEWISH MARMARA MOVEMENT AFTER THE WAR, HE PLANNED AND ACTED IN BOLD OPERATIONS SUCH AS THE NIGHT OF THE BRIDGES AND ACTIONS AGAINST THE BLOCKING OF THE ROUTES TO THE LAND. IN THE WAR OF INDEPENDENCE, HE COMMANDED THE OPERATIONS TO CONQUER THE GALILEE, LOD AND RAMLA, HEADED THE SOUTHERN FRONT, AND COMMANDED THE CONQUEST OF THE ENTIRE NEGEV UNTIL EILAT. HE WAS A TALENTED TACTICALIST, AND A FLAG IN THE SURPRISE OF THE ENEMY IN UNEXPECTED AND UNPREDICTABLE WAYS, AND WAS WILLING TO TAKE RISKS FOR THAT.

AFTER HIS FORCED RELEASE FROM THE IDF BY PRIME MINISTER DAVID BEN-GURION, AND WHEN HE IS IN THE WAR HILL AND IS PERCEIVED AS A PROMINENT REPRESENTATIVE OF THE IDF GENERATION, HE JOINED POLITICS – FOR THE MOVEMENT OF UNITY – AND THEN PUSHED FOR ITS UNION WITH THE FA AND FOR THE CREATION OF THE LABOUR PARTY. ALTHOUGH HE REACHED SENIOR POSITIONS AS DEPUTY PRIME MINISTER, MINISTER OF EDUCATION AND MINISTER OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS, PRESENTED A FIRST DIPLOMATIC PROGRAM FOR THE FUTURE OF THE TERRITORIES CALLED THE ALON PLAN, AND WAS A PARTNER IN CONTACTS THAT LED TO AN INTERIM AGREEMENT AGAINST EGYPT, ALON WAS CONSIDERED TO BE THE ONE WHO MISSED THE SUMMIT. A NOTABLE EXAMPLE OF THIS WAS HIS CREDIBILITY AS A SECURITY MINISTER BEFORE THE SIX-DAY WAR, DESPITE THE WILL OF THE HEADS OF THE STATE, IN FAVOR OF HIS POLITICAL RIVAL MOSHE DAYAN. AFTER THE POLITICAL UPHEAVAL, WHEN THE RACE BEGAN TO START THE LABOR PARTY, HE DIED SUDDENLY AT THE AGE OF 61.

FIRST OF HIS LIFE.

MASK AND FURY (1918–1937)
YIGAL FAYKOVICH WAS BORN IN THE COLONY OF MISCAVA. HIS FATHER, ראובן FAYKOVICH (1876–1962), WAS BORN IN GRODINO, IN THE RUSSIAN EMPIRE (WHITE RUSSIA), IMMIGRATED TO ISRAEL WITH HIS FAMILY IN 1890 AT THE AGE OF 16, AND BECAME KNOWN AS AN IMPETUS IN THE LOWER GALILEE COLONIES.
HIS MOTHER, LIVING IN A SHOFAR (1876–1924), WAS A FAMILY OF LONG-STANDING ABRAMS AND HER FATHER, ALTHER SORTZ, WAS ONE OF THE FOUNDERS OF THE COLONY HEAD OF THE CORNER, WHERE HE GREW UP AND THERE RECOGNIZED ראובן. IN HIS DESIRE TO BE AN INDEPENDENT FARMER, ראובן IN 1908 RECEIVED A PLOT OF LAND TO BE LEASED IN A CAVE, WHICH WAS AT THE TIME A POOR, ARID AND DRY SETTLEMENT FROM THE WATER, WHICH SUFFERED FROM THE ARAB, BEDOUIN, AND THE LOCALITIES.

AFTER FOUR SONS AND DAUGHTER, WHO HELPED THEIR FATHER IN THE MANAGEMENT OF THE ECONOMY AND WORKED WITH HIM IN THE FIELD, YIGAL WAS BORN, THE SON OF THE FAMILY’S FINS. WHEN HE WAS 5, HIS MOTHER DIED AT THE AGE OF 49. SOON, THE ADULT BROTHERS LEFT THE HOUSE FOR INDEPENDENT LIFE, AND YIGAL GREW UP IN A LOW BAR ONLY WITH HIS FATHER, THE BENEFACTOR, WHO DID NOT MARRY AGAIN, AND WITH HIS GREAT SISTER DEBORAH, WHO FILLED HIS MOTHER’S PLACE IN HIS LIFE.
HIS CHILDHOOD WORKED IN HIS FATHER’S ECONOMY AND WAS AWAKE TO THE SAFETY AND SECURITY PROBLEMS OF THE COLONY. THESE ARE THE YEARS THAT HAVE EDUCATED HIM FOR INDEPENDENCE AND PUT HIM IN UNEASY SITUATIONS. IN THE MASK, HE OCCASIONALLY EXPERIENCED HUNTING EXPERIENCES AFTER ARAB GANGS WHO RAIDED THE COLONY. ON THE OTHER HAND, HIS FATHER EMPLOYED ARAB WORKERS FOR PROCESSING HIS LAND, AND YIGAL WAS VERY ATTACHED TO THEM.

ONE OF THE DEFINING EVENTS IN HIS YOUTH WAS WHEN HE REACHED THE AGE OF A BAR MITZVAH, SO HIS FATHER TOLD HIM HE WAS MADE TO MAN AND NOW HE HAD HIS OWN WEAPONS. HE GAVE HIM A GUN AND HE SENT HIM THAT NIGHT
