Nine teams from various IDF units throughout Israel joined together to compete in a healthy cooking competition, aimed at bringing healthy food to soldiers and instilling an all-around healthy lifestyle on IDF bases. Each team consisted of three people – a head chef at an IDF base, an IDF chef in reserves and an IDF soldier currently in his or her regular service.

The Sinai Peninsula has become the new wild west: a place rife with criminals, terrorists and smugglers. Soldiers on Israel’s southern border are always aware of these threats, but in September 2012, members of the Caracal battalion were surprised when they were called upon to respond to an attack on Israeli soil.
The attack occurred next to the border, where construction workers were building a new and more secure border fence. Simultaneously, a group of refugees from Africa were being transferred into Israel for humanitarian purposes. Three terrorists managed to sneak into the group and began firing. During the attack, two IDF soldiers were shot and more danger was still possible. While soldiers from the Caracal Battalion worked to contain the strike, a team of medics arrived at the scene in a matter of minutes and went to work treating the victims. One of the victims, Corporal Netanel Yahalomi, succumbed to his wounds shortly after the attack.
