The Yizre'eli Brigade (186) recently held a ceremony commemorating its two-year anniversary. The event was led by Major General Avi Bluth, Commander of the Central Command, and attended by Brigadier General Oren Simcha, Commander of 'Ophrat Gilead' (96), Brigadier General Beni Ben Ari, the Chief Reserve Officer, Colonel Elad Tahori, Commander of the Yizre'eli Brigade, local authority heads from the Emek region, and current and former brigade commanders and soldiers.
Brigadier General Oren Simcha stated that two and a half years ago, a group of commanders and entrepreneurs began forming a new reserve division with the vision of increasing the IDF's strength. He emphasized the urgent operational need that drove the initiative, leading to the establishment of five battalions and the recruitment of soldiers. Simcha described the brigade as a response to enemies seeking to weaken Israel, highlighting their role in establishing five new reserve brigades and calling them the 'Yizre'eli spirit' and the 'protective wall of the eastern border.'
Colonel Elad Tahori reflected on the brigade's achievements over the past two years, calling it a 'lightning brigade' established to defend Israel and prevent past tragedies. Since its establishment ceremony, the brigade has completed hundreds of thousands of reserve duty days and secured operational sectors. Its units were deployed during Operation 'Im K'lavie' to assist in establishing an operational division headquarters and during Operation 'Sha'agat Ha'arye' with the 'Herev Sha'ul' battalion. The brigade headquarters is slated to become operational by the end of the year. Tahori expressed pride in the brigade's accomplishments, asserting their necessity and relevance, while also acknowledging that this is just the beginning of their journey.
