The Palmach: 75th Anniversay

75 years ago the Palmach was born. The Palmach was the elite strike force of the Haganah. These brave warriors played a most crucial role in the defense of our Jewish homeland and independence as a nation.

Many members of the Palmach and Haganah also served as soldiers in the Jewish Brigade of the British Army during the Second World War, as well as in many dangerous missions with the Special Operations Executive. Following the war, many Palmachnikim would go on to form the backbone of the IDF. Today we commemorate this anniversary in honour of those who sacrificed and helped build and defend our nation. We salute you.
