Moving footage shows IDF soldiers from the 5th Brigade’s 8111th Battalion singing at a menorah lighting in Gaza on Monday evening, shortly after 5 of their brothers fell in battle fighting Hamas.
The IDF said the killed soldiers – Major (res.) Roman Bronshtein, 46, from Bat Yam; Major Eviatar Cohen, 42, from Kfar Saba; Captain (res.) Eliya Yanovsky, 24, from Jerusalem; Master sergeant (res.) Ari Yehiel Zenilman, 32, from Jerusalem; and Sergeant major (res.) Etay Perry, 36, from Modiin – had raided a school in the southern Gaza Strip from which Hamas terrorists were firing at them.
The IDF said that the terorrists inside the school were ultimately eliminated and the terorrist infrastructure inside the school destroyed, but the IDF suffered 5 casualties.
As can be seen in the footage below, the soldiers of the 8111th Battalion somberly participate in the menorah lighting and its accompanying songs, but then begin singing “Am Yisrael Chai.”

What about all the goyim in the army?
Don’t they feel weird?
Unless they are referring to Medinas Yisrael.
In which case, this is like American soldiers singing a patriotic song.
Pine Lake Park, Young men are dying in order to protect us. Fathers of children, husbands, sons, brothers, neighbours and friends…
We say that Am Yisroel are “rachmanim bnei rachmanim”. I, like most Chareidim am not a zionist, and we have our serious differences with the medina, but Hashem yislach li, you disgust me
