“The army awarded Staff Sgt. Tuvia Yanai Weissman, who was killed in a terror attack earlier this year, one of its highest honors Tuesday for representing a ‘shining example of IDF values.’
“Weissman had been shopping with his family in a West Bank supermarket on February 18, when two Palestinian terrorists began attacking customers. The 21-year-old off-duty soldier and another man were seriously wounded in the attack; doctors at Jerusalem’s Shaare Zedek Medical Center pronounced Weissman dead a few hours later.
“As he was off-duty at the time, the Nahal Brigade soldier was without a service weapon, but nevertheless fought the attackers ‘barehanded,’ the army said in a statement about his award.
“’He demonstrated in his actions a shining example of IDF values,’ the army said.
“Weissman received a citation from Central Command chief Maj. Gen. Roni Numa, approved by IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Gadi Eisenkot.”
