Israel marks Memorial Day for the fallen soldiers and victims of terrorism

Israel is on the front lines in the war against global terrorism. This war has cost the tiny Jewish nation over 24,000 soldiers since it’s inception in 1948. Every American should be proud to support Israel. That is because when Israel fights terrorism in Iran, Syria, Lebanon, and Gaza, it is protecting Americans in New York City, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago and all points in between. May the memory of Israel’s fallen soldiers be a blessing.

On Israeli Memorial Day,
we remember the sacrifice
of IDF soldiers who fell
defending our country
and victims of terrorist attacks.

May their memory be a blessing. 🕯 pic.twitter.com/fuOmZeVoFC

By Israel Foreign Ministry, May 4, 2022

Memorial Day, which begins this year on Tuesday evening, 3 May 3, 2022, is a day of collective and personal anguish mingled with honor for the fallen. The official events begin at 8:00 PM with a moment of national silence heralded by a one-minute siren.

A total of 28,284 men, women and children have been killed in terrorist attacks and in defense of the Land of Israel since 1860, the year that the first Jewish settlers left the secure walls of Jerusalem to build new Jewish neighborhoods.

The number of Israel’s casualties of war stand at 24,068 as of May 2022. Since last Memorial Day, 56 new names were added to the roster of those who died defending the country. Another 84 disabled veterans died due to complications from injuries sustained during their service.
