Last night, the IDF identified a suspect who approached the border fence area from Jordan to Israeli territory in the area of the Jordan Valley. The suspect fled the scene and a bag was found containing 24 handguns.

After finding the weapons, the IDF forces set up ambushes in the area and this morning they arrested a suspect in the smuggling attempt.

Israeli Arab, Yoseph Haddad, is making history today as this is the first time an Arab delegation will hold a ceremony at the Auschwitz extermination camp (in Arabic) on the eve of Yom HaShoah. The delegation departed this morning to Poland from Israel. The delegation is made up of Muslims, Christians and Druze from Israel.

Mazal tov to the latest 380 religious IDF recruits who all signed up for combat units in the March 22 cycle. Kol HaKavod to the organization known as Tzalash צל"ש- צבא לשם שמים that assists them with this.

Other soldiers can learn a lot from the energy & determination these guys have.

Chag Sameach to the Israeli Druze for their holiday of their Prophet Shu'ayb called Ziyara. These guys are our brothers in arms, so much so that even on their holiday they raise Israeli flags along with their own.

Their dedication to IDF and police service is off the charts. All respect to you and enjoy your festival.

Some info about the Israeli Druze, regarding IDF service, that you may not know.

I am sure you are aware of how awesome the Israeli Druze are & how they are by far the most dedicated non-Jews who serve in the IDF, & I mean no disrespect to the Israeli Arabs who serve in the IDF. There are only ~143,000 of them in the entire country out of ~9 million, yet 80% of their males serve in combat units, many in the most elite units too.

What I bet you may not be aware of is the following: When Israel was formed, Ben Gurion and the IDF chief of staff made a decision to make IDF military service non-mandatory for all Arabs & all Druze and this remained this way until 1956 when the leader of the Druze at the time demanded that the state change the law for Druze explicitly to make it mandatory for their sons to serve, it was accepted and has been a compulsory service for males since 1956 according to the IDF draft law & has been that way ever since. If that isn't dedication I don't know what is.
