Today, the day before we celebrate the birth of the State of Israel, is Yom Ha’Zikaron – Israel’s remembrance day for all those civilians, soldiers and security personnel who have been killed defending the State of Israel from her enemies.
20,196 servicemen and women who have fallen in defence of the state since November 1947.
In the past year 184 members of the Israel Police, IDF, Border Police, Prisons Service, General Security Service, and other organizations were killed in the service of the state.
This does not include the 1000’s of innocent civilians who have been killed in the 10’s of thousands of terrorist attacks that Israel has inured since it’s inceptions.
They gave their lives so that the people of Israel could live - "Am Yisrael Chai".
Let us never forget their sacrifice, and let not allow their sacrifice to be in vain.
