EXCLUSIVE — An Israeli soldier described to the Washington Examiner how civilians and his platoon from different backgrounds have come together in a"beautiful" way following the deadly Hamas terrorist attacks, with the common goal of fighting for Israel's"existence."
Reuveni's brigade, a historic group whose soldiers are instilled with the motto,"Initiate, Lead, Make an Example and Win," is commanded by Col. Ami Biton, one of the first military leaders to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu upon him declaring war weeks ago. During the Yom Kippur War in 1973, the Paratroopers led a famous operation known as Nightgown Sayeret Tzanhanim, which ended in Israel destroying Iraqi tanks crossing into Israel's Golan Heights.
Because the country has come to a"halt," one of the"beautiful" things is how civilians are logistically helping the military by providing food, equipment, and even handing over house keys for soldiers to shower, Reuveni said. "The country has just mobilized itself to support the soldiers in war, whether it's in the north or the south, or in the center, in Judea and Samaria," Reuveni said.
