The cycling event, sponsored by the Caesarea Development Company and the CCC Cycling Club, is scheduled for tomorrow (Saturday). During this event, scholarships will be awarded to students from the town as a testament to Habibah’s legacy and commitment to education.

“Last year, we had professional cyclists and riders with special needs who participated in their own segment. We also distributed scholarships,” said Imad Habibah, Salman’s father. “We saw hundreds participate last year, and this year, I’m expecting double that amount. There are many people coming out to support and participate.”

A Tribute to Valor

Imad Habibah shared reflections on his son’s courageous actions during the events of October 7. The valor shown by Salman—his resolve to advance toward the challenges in the southern regions of Israel—has resonated with the nation. “Everystart knows what Salman did on that day. The mere thought of stepping forward instead of waiting was historic,” he remarked.

He recounted the critical actions Salman took during an operation in Kibbutz Bari, emphasizing, “The fact that most of the kibbutz remains intact is solely due to the three tanks that entered Bari, and he did incredible work there.”

Community Support and Legacy

As the family mobilizes to ensure Salman’s legacy is remembered and celebrated, they highlight the collective effort of the community in this remembrance. “The entire family is committed and doing whatever is necessary to ensure Salman’s memory lives on,” added Imad.

This bicycle event represents not only a tribute to a fallen soldier but also serves as a rallying point for community engagement and support for local education, strengthening the bonds within the community during a time of reflection.

The event aligns with the greater ethos of resilience and remembrance, fostering a spirit of unity as participants gather to honor a hero whose actions have left an indelible mark on the hearts of many
