Incident
Son of Nicole Sarah and Eliyahu Gi. Pascal Yom Tov was born in France on the 24th of Iyar 5722 (28.5.1962). He was the second child in the family, brother of Philippe and Orel.
The family immigrated to Israel, to Jerusalem, in 1977.
In December 1985, after regular service in the Paratroopers, Pascal joined the Israel Police. He served in the Border Police, in the counter-terrorism unit (Yamam), and over time advanced to the rank of Chief Warrant Officer. During his service he stood out in many operations and was awarded the Medal of Bravery and the Medal of Distinguished Service.
Pascal married Sima Simcha. The couple made their home in Jerusalem with their children Tal, born in 1987, Matan, born in 1991, and Ohad-Hai, born in 1992.
Pascal fell in battle, in an encounter with terrorists on the Egyptian border, on the 18th of Av 5771 (18.8.2011). During the encounter Sergeant First Class Moshe Naftali and six civilians also fell. Pascal was forty-nine years old when he fell.
He was laid to rest in the military cemetery on Mount Herzl, Jerusalem. He left a wife and three sons, parents and two brothers.
On Pascal's gravestone those who loved him wrote: "Like an angel you walked among us. With your departure the light of our lives went out; your righteousness will light our way."
In an inquiry conducted in 2017 it was emphasized that the Medal of Bravery was awarded by the Israel Police.
