footage from a unit in battle in Lebanon
__________Update_____________
I removed the video from the site. I think most people who read my blog have already seen it by now, and it has become an annoyance as it starts playing every time you load this site. If you would like to see it, feel free to browse over to Live from an Israeli Bunker (can be found in my blogroll). That is where I got it and he still has it up (as of last time I checked)....

HatTip to Live from an Israeli Bunker, via On the Face blogs.
For a brief explanation of the video, I quote, ""Itai Anghel accompanied regiment 931 of the Nahal Brigade (infantry) to a battle that took place on the night of August 6-7 in Houleh, a Hezbollah-controlled village in Lebanon that is about 3 kilometres north of the border with Israel. Anghel documents the fierce battle that took place using a camera equipped with a night vision lens.With the exception of the officers - Avi Dahan and Biche - all the soldiers are reservists in their 20's and 30's who did their three-year mandatory army service (ages 18-21) in the unit; in other words, they are civilians who responded to emergency call up notices."

ReplyDeleteYeah, I saw this report on Channel 2. That where this is from. Great footage. My husband is a Nahal boy, but he was in the famous 50. He was a Mashkon. By the way, how did you put a Windows Media Player on to your site?
ReplyDelete-OC
what si the famous 50? and why is it famous?
ReplyDeletewhile we're at it, what's a mashkon.
ReplyDeletebtw- i meant thanks for posting the video. Its important for us "as-of-yet-non-army-people" to learn a little bit about what happened up there....
whats - I agree. That si why i post these kinds of videos. It is easy to sit back and be an armchair general, but it is different when you experience it. And if you can't do that, then watch these types of videos so you see some of what they go through...
