Israel’s oldest man passes away at age of 117 – If family testimony that he was born in 1903 is verified, Yemenite-born Shlomo Sulayman could be one of the oldest males to ever live; survived by large family who say his longevity was due to staying active and eating small meals | ynetnews

Shlomo Sulayman, the oldest Israeli alive, passed away Sunday at age 117. He died with his family by his side and is survived by his six children and dozens of grandkids, great and great-great grandkids.
Shlomo immigrated from Yemen to Israel with his wife and four children in 1949. His two youngest children were born in Israel. He lived with his family in the central city of Netanya and after serving in the IDF, worked in agriculture.
