First time: Nahal Haredi along Syrian border

It is not sure that Syrians notice, but for the first time since the founding of Nahal Haredi about 15 years ago, the battalion soldiers were placed in the last few days along the border with Syria.

The soldiers came to the Golan Heights for training, but following the raising of the alert in the area, they were placed for operational employment in the Hermon and Golan Heights area.

The one to reveal the details is Ohr Heller, the military correspondent of Channel 10. According to him, for the first time in the history of Nahal Haredi battalion of the Kfir Brigade it is fully positioned along the border with a hostile state. Recently the alert level on the border with Syria was raised because of the bloody civil war taking place there for more than 3 years.

Soldiers of the Nahal Haredi operated in the Jordan Valley since the establishment of the battalion. 6 years ago the battalion moved to the area of the regional brigade "Menasheh" in Tulkarem and Jenin. It is estimated that at the end of the activity on the Syrian border the troops will return to this sector.

A Nahal Haredi factor referred today to the placing of soldiers on the border and told Channel 10 that "Positioning the Nahal Haredi in a new place, especially at a 'hot' border, is an expression of confidence in it, and adds on to the battalion's achievements in the last two years."

During its operation, the battalion won the esteem for its activities. It received, among others, the Chief of Staff Award for its achievements, as well as the prize of head of technology and logistics, Ground Forces Command Award for excellence in safety and a prize from headquarters of paratroopers and infantry.
