Israeli Police Join Memorial Run for Druze Community
On the morning of September 18, 2026, the Lavie Forest hosted the annual "For the Boys" run, a traditional event honoring martyrs from the Druze community. The run aims to show respect for their legacy and significant contributions to Israel's security, according to a statement from the Israeli police.
Hundreds of police officers, alongside senior security officials, government representatives, and members of the Druze community, participated in the event. They gathered to commemorate the fallen, demonstrate unity, and express deep respect for the victims' families.
Police Commissioner Lt. Col. Danny Levi and Northern District Commander Maj. Gen. Meir Eliyahu officially started the 5-kilometer race. Leaders from security agencies and other officials joined participants on the course. Commissioner Levi ran with officers to honor the Druze martyrs who died in the line of duty protecting the state and its citizens.
