This is Dr. Ari Plata, a 51 year old ultra-Orthodox doctor, a specialist in general surgery and proctology, who voluntarily served 300 days in the war effort in Gaza and now in Lebanon in the 6609th Battalion of the Alexandroni Brigade.

This week his son celebrated his bar mitzvah and Ari is now going back to continue saving the lives of our soldiers while on the battlefield.

A huge mazal tov on his son's bar mitzvah and huge respect to this man who some members of our society call a useless leech just because he is ultra-Orthodox.

There was just a shooting attack at the Qalandia checkpoint.

This is still in progress. Stay tuned
