Remembering Israel’s Fallen
Written by: Aaron Katsman | April 28, 2009
Today is a sad day for all Israeli citizens. It’s a day that the whole country stops to pay tribute and honor the memory of fallen Israeli soldiers. No other country in the world shows the respect to war dead that Israel does. The day is accompanied by 2 sirens, one at night and one in the morning, where every citizen stops and stands in complete silence to honor those that fell fighting for Israel’s very survival.
According to Globes: “
The 133 members of the security forces who fell in the past year brought the total number of fallen in Israel’s wars to 22,570 members of the security forces, including the IDF, Israel Police, Border Police, Israel Prison Service, Israel Security Agency, the Mossad, and the Jewish Brigade of World War II.”
May their memories be blessed, and their families no of no more sorrow.
