LOL I guess these guys didn't get the memo! Shame they must have crapped themselves 🤣

Today, all day, there have been rocket siren drills at set times all over the country (but not in all cities). It was announced by Pikud HaOref (Home Front Command)

Check the comments for the locations that have already had it.
What a legend and what a great thing the IDF does for people!

This is Sergeant Wossihun Gethun. When he was 9 he made aliyah to Israel with his parents from Ethiopia. Once in Israel, his parents thought he was outside playing with friends innocently but he was actually involved with alcohol and drugs from a young age and eventually had criminal cases opened up against him.

He said his parents didn't know what he was doing when he wasn't home until he got arrested and then they came to the police station to get him and he saw them and said to himself "What did I do to my family and what did I do to myself?"

Time went by and it was close to the time for him to enlist in the mandatory IDF service but he would be automatically rejected due to his history. He was informed that he could go through a program that helps with these situations and so he took the opportunity to turn his life around and so he did.

Mazal tov to the hundreds of Israeli Magav border police recruits who swore allegiance to the State of Israel yesterday at the Kotel in Jerusalem and received their green beret. They are from the August 21 cycle.

May you all be successful and be safe!
How brutal yet again of IDF soldiers, this time from an engineering unit. While in an area called Gabal Al-Khalil (Mount Hebron) in the Judean mountains, these IDF soldiers spent some time playing with the local "Palestinian" Arab kids there.

As you can see how uncomfortable they are with this, having to have fun and be affectionate. This is pure abuse, I mean kids are NOT supposed to be happy, especially not Arab ones. This level of brutality has to stop!
Tonight is the Jewish Ethiopian holiday known as Sigd which is now an official Israeli holiday (since 2008). In short, Sigd symbolizes the acceptance of the Torah.

This ceremony was held yesterday at the Kotel in Jerusalem in honor of their holiday. To commemorate it, many members of the great Ethiopian community came to the Wall Plaza where a ceremony was held with the participation of many police officers who are from the Ethiopian community

Additional state guests included the Minister of Homeland Security, the Minister of Aliyah, the Police Chief, Major General Kobi Shabtai, MP Gadi Yabarkan, Kaysim and Rabbi Yitzhak Blichbard who is the Rabbi for Magav and who initiated the idea.

The Jewish Ethiopian community are a great one, they are very proud, very faithful and very loyal, they serve proudly in the IDF and police units, they deserve more respect and not because of their skin color, but because of their integrity and sincerity.
The Israeli Ministry of Defense, Air Force and Air Industry started to put in place the new "Sky Dew" system (Tal Shamayim), similar to the one we have on the Gaza border except this one is massive!

This system is used to detect and alert for advanced threats and it will be deployed in the sky at a designated site in the north of Israel. This will be a significant component in strengthening the protection of the state borders. The defense system is comprised of a High Availability Aerostat-borne System and advanced radar. It will operate at high altitudes, providing detection and early warning capabilities for threats emerging from the north and from different directions.

The advantages of tethered aerial systems include the ability to elevate in a matter of seconds and stay in the air for an unlimited period of time since the electric power supply remains on the ground. The logistical footprint is reduced dramatically – the output provided to customers is achieved in a simple, accessible and affordable way
