As the IDF soldiers spend Chanukah in Gaza, their thoughts linger on home, family, and the warmth of tradition.

Amidst their duties, they miss the flickering candles, the festive melodies, and the comfort of being with loved ones.

Yet, their dedication shines brightly, bringing hope for a future where peace prevails, allowing everyone to celebrate the holidays safely, surrounded by love and harmony.

Wishing these brave souls strength, light, and a safe return home.
