‘We're lone soldiers, but we're not lonely’: How the IDF supports fighters without families

The IDF has a unique support system for soldiers without families, especially for immigrant soldiers who join out of a strong sense of Zionism. These "lone soldiers" receive special care and attention to help them feel integrated and valued despite being away from their families. This initiative underscores Israel's commitment to its people and its recognition of the sacrifices made by these dedicated individuals. It highlights the broader theme of community and support within the military, showing how the IDF nurtures a sense of belonging and purpose for those who come from afar.
