In a ceremony in Tel Aviv’s Einav Center, members of Magen David Adom, firefighters and Zaka will receive a citation for their services during the Second Lebanon War. The recognition to award them the citation given to IDF soldiers who took part in the war follows a two-year battle.

Included in the ceremony will be firefighters from the Jewish National Fund, who played a role in extinguishing blazes that resulted from missile attacks. The presentation will be made by Deputy Defense Minister Matan Vilnai and Deputy Health Minister Yaakov Litzman. 1,624 firemen and volunteers will receive the citation along with 187 JNF workers and 5,390 MDA personnel.
