Jan 29, 2007 - Michael Ben Sa'adon, 27, was one of three people killed in a suicide bombing in a bakery in the southern city of Eilat. The Islamic Jihad and the Fatah al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades claimed responsibility for the attack.
Michael Ben Sa'adon moved to Eilat from his home town of Acre about four years ago, and there he met his wife, Shani. He jointed Emi Elmaliah as a business partner in the Lehamim just three months ago. On the morning of the attack he came to work as usual at 5 A.M. and returned home at 8:15 A.M. to take his eight-month-old son, Nahorai, to daycare. It was the last time Shani saw him.
"He was clever, an amazing father and wonderful husband," Shani said. "No one had anything bad to say about him. I still can't believe it. All the people in the house now were here for our son's circumcision. It's like just another party and he'll walk in any minute. Now I have to be strong for our son, to raise him the best I can," she added.
Michael Ben Sa'adon was buried in the new cemetry in Acre. He is survived by his wife Shani and his son Nahorai.
