An exciting race in memory of the late Amir Khoury, who fell in battle with a terrorist in Bnei Brak, took place this morning (Friday) in the Galilee landscape with the participation of hundreds of police officers, acquaintances and his family.
Advanced Sergeant Major Amir Khoury fell in March this year, during an exchange of gunfire with a terrorist who had previously murdered four civilians in Bnei Brak.
Khoury, 32, who was about to marry, grew up in Nazareth, dreamed of becoming a doctor, excelled in law, and followed in the footsteps of his father, Jerry, a retired police officer. This morning’s race was held as part of his legacy and commemoration of his name in collaboration with the Galilee Landscape Municipality.
The commander of the Northern District, Superintendent Shimon Lavi: “The late Amir Khoury was a brave policeman, who acted resolutely in front of the terrorist and saved many lives of innocent people, when he was exposed to the terrorist’s fire. Policeman Amir Khoury is a national hero and a symbol of heroism, to which we all owe for all his work. I am proud to see here the hundreds of policemen who came and took part in this race in memory of Amir Khoury. “
