The story · English

Hundreds of new recruits are joining the Israel Defense Forces' Nahal Brigade today, following the brigade's heavy combat engagements in Gaza and Lebanon since October 7. The unit has suffered significant casualties during these operations. The brigade commander welcomed the newcomers, emphasizing the historic nature of the period and the legacy of fallen soldiers and commanders whose stories are integral to the nation's history.

The commander, identified as Colonel A., highlighted the challenging path ahead for the recruits, assuring them of the support from experienced commanders and fighters committed to developing the next generation of soldiers. He stressed that while all units have quality weaponry, the Nahal Brigade's unique human advantage sets it apart. He expressed his confidence and anticipation in seeing the new recruits join the ranks, reaffirming the brigade's motto of always being first.

The Nahal Brigade's recent wartime activities have been documented by the IDF Spokesperson's Unit, reflecting the brigade's ongoing role on multiple fronts. This recruitment drive marks a critical moment as the brigade rebuilds and prepares for future challenges in the context of the ongoing conflict in Gaza and Lebanon.
