Albert Mandler

Avraham Albert Mandler (Hebrew: אברהם מנדלר; 3 May 1929 – 13 October 1973) was an Israeli major general.

This brigade pushed "elements of the Shazli Force and the Egyptian 6th Division straight into an ambush laid by Arik Sharon" at Nakhl on June 8, 1967.

He was killed in action on 13 October 1973 when an Egyptian missile hit his command-car,[2] possibly artillery fire.

[3] There are claims that this happened after his voice was intercepted and identified by Egyptian electronic warfare units using tactical COMINT equipment, who immediately transmitted his position to the nearest Second Army artillery battery, but this was disputed by Shmuel Gonen, who performed an experiment the very next day to show that the very brief time between the radio transmission and Mandler's death ("thirty seconds") was not long enough for such a process to have taken place.

[4] Streets in Ramat Gan where he lived, Tel Aviv, BeerSheba and Beit Shemesh were named after him.
