Biography
|
Moshe Dayan (May 20, 1915 – October 16, 1981), was an Israeli military leader and politician. He was the fourth Chief of Staff of the Israel Defense Forces (1953-1958).
In Hebrew, his name translates as "Moses [the] Judge". He became a fighting symbol to the world of the new State of Israel with his famous eyepatch.
Early life
Moshe Dayan was born in a kibbutz ("collective farm"), Degania Alef ("Degania A"), Palestine then still part of the Ottoman Empire, near the Kinneret Sea of Galilee. His parents were Shmuel and Devorah, and he was the first child born in the newly-established community. Aged 14 he joined the Haganah at a very early stage. He was greatly influenced by the military teachings of the English pro-Zionist officer Orde Wingate when Dayan was a sergeant prior to World War II.
