U.S. Soldiers in Iraq Encourage IDF Troops
17:33 Jul 25, '06 / 29 Tammuz 5766
(IsraelNN.com) American soldiers in Iraq have sent Internet messages of encouragement to IDF soldiers via the new web site established by British citizen John Wilkes, who set up the web site out of concern for a friend of his in the IDF.
More than 400 messages from outside Israel have been sent to IDF soldiers, including several from the Americans. "Take care of the Hizbullah; we will take care of Iran," wrote one U.S. soldier. Another wrote, "From Iraq, we wish good tidings for you brave IDF soldiers. The American army is 100 percent for Israel."
This is great! I hadn't heard about our troops sending messages to the IDF, although I've heard them speaking very supportively of them.
Brothers in arms...
In Bint Jbeil, St.-Sgt. Kobi Smilg, 20, of Rehovot, was killed when a large bomb exploded under his Merkava 4 tank, which flipped over as a result. A battalion commander was wounded in the attack. A few hours later, 21-year-old Lt. Lotan Slavin from Kibbutz Hazeva was killed when his tank was hit - this time by an anti-tank missile.
