When Makor Rishon’s photographer, Miri Tzahi, saw the photo of First Lieutenant Amihai Merhavia, who was killed in the battle of Bint Jbail, it jogged something in her journalist’s memory. She thought she had seen this face before.
Tzahi, who is about publish the album, “Katif – Nine days in Av,” featuring hundreds of photos of the “days of the expulsion,” searched through her computer archive and found a series of photos from around four years ago, showing Merhavia during the violent evacuation of Havat Gilad (Gilad Farm) in Samaria.
