Dr. Yitzhak Yifat, one of the three Israeli paratroopers seen in the 1967 photo of soldiers at the Western Wall, an iconic image of the Six-Day War, died on Saturday at the age of 81. Popularly dubbed “The Crying Paratroopers,” even though no one in it is crying, the photo became one of the most famous in Israeli history.
