22,993 have fallen
while serving the Land of Israel... before celebrating the birthday of
our beloved Homeland, we must remember those whose sacrifice made it all
possible, following Hashem's will.
MAY HASHEM GRANT ALL THEIR NESHAMOT AN ALIYAH !!!
A total
of 22,993 men and women have been killed defending the land of Israel
since 1860, the year that the first Jewish settlers left the secure
walls of Jerusalem to build new Jewish neighborhoods.
Since the end of the War of Independence, 2,457 people have been killed in Israel in terror attacks - 14 in the past year.
In the past year, since Remembrance Day 2011, 126 members of the security forces - police, IDF, Border Police, Israel Security Agency and other organizations - have been killed in the service of the state.
On Wednesday, ceremonies commence at 11:00 AM at 44 IDF military cemeteries located throughout the country following a two minute blast of the siren. There will also be a ceremony for overseas Mahal volunteers who fought and died during the War of Independence, which will take place near the Sha'ar Hagai Junction. Israel's flag, adorned with a black ribbon and memorial flame, is placed on each and every grave of those who fell in Israel's battles and are buried in military cemeteries throughout Israel. It expresses the country's respect for the fallen as well as the entire country's participation in the grief of the families.
