חיילים בודדים
This is simply the best documentary about Chayalim Bodedim in the IDF that I have seen. Kol Hakavod to Reshet TV for putting it together and for making an excellent piece on soldiers who certainly deserve to have their stories heard.
On a side note, just as Michael Oren recounts, I can also remember the times of volunteering to stay on base and do guard duty on holidays while many of my friends went home to spend time with their families. It goes without saying that this is one piece that is especially personal and moving.

This truly is one of my favorite historical gems.

Some pictures from the funerals of Hezbollah members killed in this week's Israeli airstrike in the Golan Heights in Syria. The IAF strike killed Jihad Mughniyeh, the son of Imad Mughniyeh, Hezbollah's former chief military commander who was also assassinated in a hit attributed to Israel in 2008.
Among those also killed in Sunday's airstrike in Syria was Iran Revolutionary Guard General Mohammed Allahdadi.

"All the world is a very narrow bridge, the most important thing is not to be afraid"
Full respect to the GIGN and all of the brave French security forces who risked their lives to save others and who helped bring this senseless terror to an end.

There are limits to satire and mockery, limits to freedom of expression, but Western civilization provides legal frameworks in which to weigh and enforce those limits. Islamic extremism allows for no such humor, no such mockery, no such tolerance. It is Europe’s free press, its freedom of expression, its very civilization, then, that was attacked in Paris on Wednesday, that the Islamists seek to destroy. The stakes could not be higher. - David Horovitz, Times of Israel

The War Next Door
Israel and the IDF have been treating wounded civilians from Syria's civil war and playing a strong humanitarian role for quite some time now. I'm glad that this reality is finally coming to light.
