FIDF honors, thanks, and supports our Druze heroes. Today, Friday, September 20th, over 11,000 participants gathered in the Lower Galilee to pay tribute to the 442 Druze soldiers who have sacrificed their lives for the State of Israel since the War of Independence, including 12 who have fallen in the current war.
Alongside FIDF, this annual event is organized in collaboration with the Association for Israel’s Soldiers, the Lower Galilee Regional Council, the Israeli Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Culture and Sports, and Druze Beit Yad Labanim.
The Druze community serves in the IDF and succeeds throughout high ranking positions.
