Real-time encounter with a Hezbollah activist ‘FIDF LIVE’ 17th episode from Israel’s northern border Courtesy of FIDF

ew York, NY (January 26, 2022) – A recent episode of FIDF LIVE, a monthly program produced by Friends of the Israel Defense Forces (FIDF), featured soldiers who currently serve at Israel’s northern border, protecting the country from constant military threats throughout the year. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) is constantly on alert for threats against Israel’s security, especially along its northern border. Just a few weeks into the new year, there have already been reports of an enemy drone that crossed into Israel from Hezbollah-backed Lebanon. There are also reports of enemy combatants attempting to infiltrate Israel, including suspects from a Syrian post nearing the frontier with Israel — violations of the UN Security Council Resolution 1701. The 17th episode of the program, entitled “Northern Border: Boots on the Ground,” features an encounter with a Hezbollah activist and firsthand accounts from military leadership who guide Israel’s ground forces and provide insight as to how IDF soldiers are trained to defend Israel’s northern border. This episode also shares interviews with three soldiers from the IDF Sky Rider Unit: Captain Gabi, IDF UAV
Platoon Commander; Lt. Ori, a Team Commander and Sgt. Alon, a unit combat soldier. Also interviewed were Lt. Lahav of the IDF 300 Brigade, who serves as IDF Liaison Officer to the UN; Cpl. Moria and Pvt. Chaya, both serving as combat soldiers in the IDF Red Unit; Sgt. Yonatan, IDF Nachal Brigade Team Commander; and Sgt. Max, a Lone Soldier from Chicago who also serves in IDF Nachal Brigade Combat Unit. The program also included a special salute to victims and survivors of the Holocaust ahead of International Holocaust Remembrance Day, commemorated on Jan. 27. The FIDF LIVE platform, hosted by American stand-up comedian and author Joel Chasnoff, is a high-level production broadcast that provides an incredible virtual alternative to inperson experiences and brings awareness of FIDF’s cause and activities to a broader audience.
