An IDF combat engineer in the Saifan company of the elite Yahalom unit during training. One of my good friends served in this unit.

Their training includes use of protective gear in combat, robotics, chemical engineering and identifying chemical and biological weapons and unconventional weapons use. The unit also is trained in underground warfare, including tunnels.

Remembering Corporal Shimon Fahima and Sergeant David Biton, Mizrachi Jews who were best of friends, both born in Morocco, who both made aliyah with their families to Israel and who both served in the Golani Brigade as expert sappers and who both died on the same day in the same battle in the Yom Kippur war.

Best friends in life and in death.

May their memories be for a blessing!

This had me in tears.

Remembering 19 year old Shawn Mondshein, the IDF Golani soldier who wrote goodbye letters to his family and friends just 1 week before his death in Operation Tzuk Eitan in 2014.

His letters were found on his phone after he and his 6 friends were killed when an anti-tank missile hit their partially armoured APC. Israeli singer, Hanan Ben Ari, took those letters and turned it into this song.

He died along with:
Staff Sergeant Oren Simcha Noah
Staff Sergeant Daniel Pomerantz
Staff Sergeant Oron Shaul
Staff Sergeant Shahar Tase
Sergeant Ben Yitzhak Oanounou
Sergeant Max Donald Steinberg

May their memories be for a blessing.

A video of the terrorist being shot dead.

Another video of the terrorist being shot dead while in his car.

I removed the scenes which clearly show the injured people's faces. I'm really not sure why people stand and film injured people instead of helping them, it's disgusting to be honest.

A farmer did this to commemorate 75 years of the Israeli Independence.

The nationwide Yom HaZikaron (memorial day) siren has just gone off.

Most of the cars and trucks that are not stopping are usually Arabs but I'm pretty sure that some are not and it's quite disgusting either way.
