Camp Yitzhak

The camp is located about three kilometres southwest of Mount Shifon, near the ruins of Kafr Naffakh – a village whose inhabitants, Turkmen Muslims, abandoned it during the Six-Day War.

It was named after Lt. Col. Yitzhak Halfon, a battalion commander in the brigade, who fell in the battle on the Golan Heights in the Six-Day War.

A few kilometres east of the base at the foot of Mount Shifon stands a monument to the fallen of the 679th Brigade [he].

The tanks trampled the fences of the camp and fired into it, but were stopped and pushed away that day by IDF soldiers, including Efi Eitam who was awarded the Medal of Distinguished Service,[2] who fired bazooka bombs at them from inside the camp and then by Israeli tanks that sensed the place.

Netanyahu was awarded the Medal of Distinguished Service for how he commanded the battle and other actions he performed in the war.
