This brave Israeli soldier lost a hand on the Gaza border, battling Hamas in Israel’s 2014 war against the brutal terror group.
Capt. (Res.) Ziv Shilon sustained horrific injuries while fighting in the 2014 Israel-Gaza War.
While one hand was blown off, and the other was injured so badly he required multiple surgeries to regain use, Shilon also lost three close friends in battle, Yochai, Matan, and David.
Shilon didn’t let his injuries in battle slow him down though. The brave vet now competes in Iron Man challenges and stays in top physical condition,
HELP ISRAELIS BATTLE CORONA!
Donate to the Corona Emergency Relief Fund. Coronavirus has taken a huge toll on the people of Israel. The poor, elderly and ill are most vulnerable.
Israeli soldiers, security officers and medical care providers operate under great danger and risk to life.
Over 1 million Israelis are out of work. Many cannot make ends meet. We provide financial aid, food, medical supplies and more. Funds are distributed where needed most. The time to act is now!
United with Israel extends a special note of appreciation to the Genesis Prize for their generous support.
