Only recently, his widow, Yael, learned the full story of his incredible bravery.
At a bar mitzvah, she happened to meet the military rabbi who handled his body and he told her:
“His hand was clenched, and inside it - a live grenade.”
It turned out to be a Hamas grenade that Dr. Naaman had caught in his hand, intending to throw it back at the terrorists to save the lives of his fellow soldiers.
Later, his commander said:
“When you run out of ammunition, you use the enemy’s weapon.”
A true hero.
