In a moving ceremony held in Beit Shemesh this evening, 54 policemen, policewomen, and civilians were awarded medals and honors for their performance and heroism on 21 different occasions, including thwarting terror attacks and saving lives over the past two years.
The event was attended by President Reuven Rivlin, Internal Security Minister Gilad Erdan, and Police Commissioner Roni Alshich, and offered awards and medals were given to policemen and civilians who acted with determination, courage, and sometimes even to the point of self-sacrifice.
Ari Fuld, who was murdered in the Gush Etzion attack last September, was awarded the Civil Medal of Honor after spending the last of his strength chasing the terrorist who stabbed him, managing to shoot him with his personal weapon before collapsing falling to the ground.
