Approximately 700 soldiers from the Paratrooper Brigade's training base took their oath of allegiance to the IDF on Wednesday evening at the Western Wall Plaza in Jerusalem. The ceremony, which included the singing of "Hatikvah," Israel's national anthem, took place three years after the brigade's founding.

The recruits, who are nearing the end of their basic training, participated in the traditional swearing-in ceremony, a significant milestone for soldiers in the Israeli military. The event was attended by family members and supporters, who gathered to witness the soldiers pledge their commitment to the IDF.

The timing of the ceremony, on the eve of October 7th, was noted by observers, though no specific mention was made in the reporting regarding this date. The Paratrooper Brigade, established in 2021, is one of the IDF's elite units, known for its rigorous training and combat readiness.
