For more than 300 days, the soldiers of the 7056 Paratrooper Reserve Battalion have stood watch on and beyond the border of Lebanon. These men and women have answered their nation’s call with courage and resolve, shouldering the immense responsibility of safeguarding the country’s security. Their sacrifice is obvious, their bravery undeniable.
Yet, there is another story to tell—one that too often goes unnoticed. Behind each of these soldiers stands a family: mothers, fathers, spouses, children. These are the people who quietly endure the uncertainty, the worry, and the long months of separation. They are the silent backbone of our nation’s defence, providing the strength and support that allow our soldiers to do their duty without hesitation.
At We Believe in Israel (#WBII), we believe it is time to honour these families. Their sacrifices, though less visible, are no less significant. They are a critical part of the fabric that holds our nation together, and they deserve to be recognised.
To this end, we are raising funds for a special evening dedicated to these extraordinary families. This is not just about gratitude; it is about acknowledgment. It is about saying, “We see you. We value you. And we thank you.” It is a gesture of appreciation for the quiet resilience that so often goes unremarked.
The evening will be an opportunity to celebrate their strength and recognise the crucial role they play in our nation’s safety. It is a chance for these families to come together, to be reminded that their sacrifices matter, and to feel the gratitude of a nation that owes them so much.
But to make this happen, we need your support. Your generosity will help us provide a moment of respite and recognition for those who give so much, often without asking for anything in return. By contributing, you are standing with the families of the 7056 Paratrooper Reserve Battalion and showing them that their resilience does not go unnoticed.
In a world where the burdens of service are so often borne in silence, let us be loud in our gratitude. Let us remind these families that their sacrifices are not forgotten and that their strength inspires us all. Join us in making this evening a meaningful tribute to those who serve—not just on the frontlines, but at home as well.
