Episode 27 - On The Lebanese Border

The Israeli Lebanese border is one of the most complex of all the borders that Israel protects, with Muslim, Jewish, Drews, and Christian villages living in astoundingly close proximity to each other. IDF soldiers thwart attacks from Hezbollah militants, UAV’s and drones as well as infiltration attempts that put the safety of her citizens at risk.  The ongoing activity requires tremendous thought, training and care. In this episode, you will get an exclusive look at how Israel defends its most northern border, while also allowing daily life to continue safely. You will hear from Lt. Avi, Liaison Officer to the U.N. about the sensitivities on the border. You will meet Cpl. Liana, Combat Medic and Lone Soldier from White Plains NY who delivers medical care to the most far-reaching and inaccessible communities. And you will have an exclusive look into operations at the Naval Base with Captain Itay, IDF Navy Ship Captain and Commander of Advanced Training, who will show us how the IDF prepares soldiers for the maritime space through rigorous physical and educational training.
