Commander of the Paratroopers Brigade: “Memorial Day finds us in the midst of combat – not as a pause, but as a direct continuation of that mission and responsibility.”

We are in the midst of intense and historic fighting in Bint Jbeil, a historic location where paratroopers fought in 2006. In the area where Nasrallah tried to portray the State of Israel as weak, paratrooper combat teams are now operating with great force. They are fighting in the stadium, in the Kasbah, eliminating terrorists, and achieving significant operational accomplishments. All of this is made possible by those who fell and sacrificed themselves for the sake of important missions.
