Sergeant Igor Pibenev is a heroic policeman who fought on 10/7, took his own life after a long battle with PTSD. We failed you!
Sergeant Igor Pibenev is a heroic policeman from Yated who on October 7th traveled from Hebron Station to the terrorist-infested South to save his family and protect the country, eliminating 13 Nukhba terrorists on the way there and fighting heroically for long hours that Sabbath.
The terrorists did not defeat him that day, but the internal and mental battle he faced since that Sabbath for a year and seven months defeated him yesterday and he ended his life.
What a painful loss... Make no mistake, Igor is another victim of October 7th.
This is a reminder to all of us, especially to those who returned from the front, "not to be ashamed or neglected - treat post-traumatic stress disorder, it is important and it saves lives!"
We will remember you Igor, Hero of Israel
