Israeli tank Commander

[Imp]

Anybody know the name of the nutter Israeli tank commander in The Yom Kippur War.
From very vague memory ended up in charge of a platoon & upon seeing his virtually lone defence of a compound later more. He surprised the Egyptians by charging at them despite the tanks being totaly outclassed. He lost 2 tanks badly burnt in one I think but took over others. The loss of his second tank was to much for his driver who ran away, cant say I blame him really.
Think he was on leave or had finnished national service when it kicked off.
Possibly near enough had to talk into letting him use the tank as regular crew was not available so formed a crew out of men there.
