Incredible stuff, this is what I like to hear!!

A few months ago I posted about an IDF Bedouin soldier named Ahmad Sawaed who collapsed during training from a cardiac arrest and who was hospitalized in a very serious condition in intensive care, this was the post: https://www.facebook.com/ugobey/posts/10165821145440441

Well after two months in the hospital and in rehabilitation, he returned to join his friends in his unit and received his purple beret. This is admirable and just shows the power and dedication of the Druze, Arabs and Bedouins who so much want to serve in the IDF and protect the Jewish state.

Kol HaKavod!!

This great unit that he serves in is called The Desert Reconnaissance Unit aka the Bedouin Reconnaissance Unit (יחס"ר 585 יחידת הסיור המדברי) .

I am looking to help out an IDF infantry reservist unit part of the Jordan Valley Brigade that is in need of a drone for tactical and surveillance purposes while they are on certain operations. 💪 🇮🇱

If you or someone you know are willing to help sponsor a drone costing around $800 (DJI Mavic mini 2 with 4k camera) then please do contact me or send them my way. If multiple people want to help then you can of course split the costs. 💰

IDF units cannot request drones at will unless it is approved and that approval isn't easy at all. Certain units operate with drones and so they all go to those units. 🤷

Much of the additional gear our guys need to make their jobs easier is not provided by the IDF or hard to obtain from the IDF so many people try to help by donating needed items to reservist units. 🤲

They will be forever in your gratitude if you can help and I will make sure they make a video of them using it and send a special message for you or whoever helps! ❤️

Thank you!
This IDF soldier is showing an example of the high quality of soldiers & civilians we have in Israel by going out of his way to buy this homeless man a thicker blanket to keep warm while sleeping outside in the winter. ❤️

The photo is a photo from 2017 but the moment is timeless and priceless and always relevant....

Amazing shot taken by Shlomo Gelber שלמה גלבר
As a photographer myself, I am absolutely mind-blown at these phenomenal pictures taken of IDF soldiers by my friend named Shlomo Gelber (שלמה גלבר)

He is the guy in the very first picture on the left.

Really kol hakavod Shlomo, these pics are just incredible...thank you!!

You can see all of them in the comments.

Last night IDF forces and Israeli police (Yigal unit) foiled an operation to smuggle weapons from Jordan into Israel.

2 were arrested in possession of 11 different weapons: eight pistols, two Kalashnikov rifles and an M16 rifle.

This is a weekly occurrence.

Kol HaKavod!!!
Wow what great voices on Ron Vaknin who sang the song "Standing by the Gate" and Uria Azari who sang the song "I swear" at the Israeli X-factor show to get into the Eurovision.

See another incredible audition here by another young guy:

Israeli undercover elite police known as Mista'arvim caught on camera arresting 3 terrorists in the Arab town of Beita, South of Shchem (Nablus).

This elite police unit dresses up like Arabs and speak fluent Arabic etc to blend in.

Kol Hakavod!

In Israel you have to be a little crazy or nutty to survive, normal just doesn't exist here...crazy and nutty IS our normal.

This young Haredi guy proves that point nicely as he dances to electronic trance music in a store. (this is not an uncommon scene in Israel for sure)
