Last summer, instead of carefree, relaxation, most of the Israeli population was living under the threat of rocket fire. Life between sirens, in and out of bomb shelters, had become the daily reality for millions of Israelis. Daily we prayed for God to protect "His army," our guardians, the soldiers of the Israeli Defense Forces and keep all of the People of Israel safe and secure. This week marks the one year anniversary of the start of Operation Protective Edge. Throughout the war torn summer, Soroka Hospital was the safe landing ground for injured IDF soldiers and civilians. Since learning of its role in treating IDF soldiers, LIBI USA has committed to donating much-needed funds to expand Soroka's Trauma Unit.
