It was the morning of October 7^th when Bechor Swid, a 32-year-old married man and father of three from Shlomit, was at his parents' house in Moshav Shuva, his childhood home. At that morning, he heard that his friends in the standby squad were caught up in a battle with terrorists in the town of Pri Gan, Bechor gets on his car and rushes to assist them.

On the way to the settlement, he was informed about more and more friends who were injured in the battles. Bechor continued his journey, but on the way he was ambushed by terrorists who opened fire on him, and punctured his vehicle. Bechor did not give up and even managed to neutralize a great deal of terrorists, while he held a stance and leveled his way towards the settlement where the members of the standby squad were. At a certain point, Bechor got off his vehicle, and fought the terrorists in bare hands, to the end of his strength.

Eventually, Bechor was murdered on the spot, on 7/10, by the terrorists.

The late Bechor Swid graduated with honors from the Beer Sheva College of Technology, but did not have time to submit the final project he created: a bird park at the entrance to Shlomit, the settlement where he lived. After his death, Bechor’s mother, Hadassah Swid, was awarded a landscape architecture engineering diploma, on her son’s behalf.
