Returning to the fundamentals: Inside Battalion 101’s kill-confirmation drills and rugged field training

In the Paratroopers and Golani brigades, soldiers still do not know where they will be deployed once their current pause ends; a sign of the growing likelihood that fighting in Gaza may resume.
