La vida diaria del reservista israelí en imágenes

"Morale is high on the ground. Everyone is ready to go all the way. The lives of millions of people are at the mercy of the terrorists. Conditions are less than perfect but people endure and are willing
The IDF is a “popular” military force. Everyone serves in Israel. A minimum of 3 years for the men and 2 for the women. However, the main force in case of a war is the reservists. Everyone enters the reserve force upon discharge from active duty. Until age 50 you serve 20-40 days a year, every year, either training, on missions or guarding the borders. In cases of war or conflicts, the reservists can be recalled en-masse, like in this case. These are normal people, teachers, doctors, mechanics, sales people… They leave their families to go back and defend the country, a country that is surrounded by hostile countries."
