‘Leave no one behind’: how IDF paratroopers abducted Jordanian Legionnaires to free a comrade (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Long before “leave no one behind” became one of the most enduring ideas associated with the IDF, a wounded paratrooper lying alone beyond the armistice line helped create one of the stories behind that ethos.His name was Yitzhak Gibli, better known to his comrades as “Little Gibli.” After he was wounded during a 1954 reprisal raid and captured by Jordan, some of the best-known figures of Israel’s early military history began planning a remarkable series of operations with one objective: seize en
How a 19-year-old officer defied orders and joined the Six-Day War (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In September 1967, three months after the Six-Day War, stories began to emerge that the war itself had left untold. Behind the headlines about the great victory were countless personal stories: split-second decisions, acts of heroism, mistakes, loss and incidents that sounded as though they had been written for a movie.One such story appeared 59 years ago this week on the front page of Yedioth Ahronoth.

The Iraqi Air Force insignia was displayed on its wings and a 30-year-old pilot sat in the cockpit, having voluntarily landed in enemy territory.

How a memorial for Jewish paratroopers became one of Israel’s deadliest air disasters (opens the original)
