IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi sent a letter to Israeli army officers on the occasion of Yom HaShoah (Holocaust and Heroism Remembrance Day) in which he discusses the Israel’s current war against terrorism. “The State of Israel was created, among other things, thanks to the warriors of all generations, ready to give their lives for it. But this time we are different, from a nation without a voice or defense to a nation that bears the responsibility for its destiny, we will fight and promise: Never again.” The Chief of Staff added: “As we wage our just war, this remembrance will be the Source of our strength and a reminder of the importance of having a protective force for our people. We carry on our shoulders the responsibility to continue fighting for the freedom of the people of Israel.”
