We are full of appreciation for the fighters and all IDF soldiers guarding us “IDF, disabled IDF and members of bereaved families Happy Hanukkah.”
Chief of Staff Lt. Col. Aviv Kochavi: “The unity of Israel is best expressed in the IDF. “The IDF is a rare opportunity for the people of Israel to take people who would not meet and naturally connect with them. The IDF is not a melting pot, it is a unifying force.”
