Yom HaZikaron

The memorial site to the 121 soldiers who lost their lives in the second Lebanon war in 2006 lies on Mount Adir – near Kibbutz Sassa in the Upper Galilee – and also serves as an observation point overlooking the border and parts of southern Lebanon where much of the fighting took place.  

Tonight, Israelis come together to remember those soldiers and all the other members of the security forces who make up the 23,085 who have fallen defending the country, along with the victims of terror attacks. May all their memories be blessed.
