The Testimony Project

From these testimonies we will compile a comprehensive formal report to be published in both Hebrew and English, backed up by video clips, of verified testimonies from IDF reserve soldiers. These testimonies depict the unparalleled experiences and the challenging situations which Israeli soldiers face on a daily basis.
