Aviv Kochavi

As we stand in the cabins of death, we feel an increased sense of duty.
“Our primary weapon will forever be the fighting spirit.”
The IDF proves that it is possible to hold different opinions and diverse beliefs and at the same time show comradery, friendship and true partnership.
The Israel Defense Forces’ multi-year “Momentum” plan incorporates the importance of adapting to change, one of the key lessons learned in southern Lebanon.
This Memorial Day, we cannot stand beside you in person, but will stand by you in every other sense. We stand at attention, bow our heads and remember. We remember that we wear the uniform of the IDF, that we represent the values the fallen embodied: commitment, devotion, comradeship and courage.
We, the commanders and soldiers of the Israel Defense Forces—past, present and future—comprise the defense the Six Million prayed for.
