About 100 Jewish youngsters from around the world have made Aliyah to enlist voluntarily in the IDF as Israel wages a war against the Hamas terrorist organization, “leaving family and friends behind in order to protect the Jewish state,” according to Israel Hayom.

            In a month, they will put on their uniforms, but not before completing a preparatory course by the Defense Ministry’s Defense and Society Department, which takes place at an integration center in Karmiel in Northern Israel, where tensions with the Hezbollah terror group are heightened.

During the four-week program, the young men and women will prepare physically and mentally for their service, and also will study Hebrew and get to know Israeli society.
