ARC Israel Updates

Non-profit organizations supporting Israel soldiers want to thank all their donors for their help. NGOs rely on donations that come from kind-hearted citizens. The good thing is that every able person in Israel is standing with its soldiers. However, not everyone in society is aware of their duties towards the soldiers.

1. Emotional and Mental Health Support

Leading a difficult life far away from their families takes a toll on the emotional and mental health of soldiers. When they come back, they look for support. They need counselling and trauma recovery programs to come out of the physical and mental trauma they faced while serving the country. NGOs create support groups to help soldiers return to normal life.

2. Support for Lone Soldiers and Families

NGOs urge people to support IDF soldiers, especially those serving without immediate family in the country. They also rely on community support for housing, meals, holiday hosting, mentorship, and social integration. For families, you can provide childcare support and financial assistance during emergencies. Your support can reduce their isolation. 

3. Medical, Rehabilitation, and Recovery Programs

Soldiers are the true guardians of the country. They stand guard day and night. When injured, they come back for treatment. It is the duty of all able persons to provide quality medical care and rehabilitation of injured soldiers. The medical support may include physical therapy, mobility equipment for the disabled soldiers, and long-term recovery services.

4. Education and Career Transition Assistance

Many non-profit organizations supporting Israel soldiers run educational programs, including vocational training for soldiers. They also offer scholarships to interested personnel. These programs are aimed at helping military personnel find job opportunities after serving in the army. However, the real objective is to help them lead an independent, respectful, and fulfilling life.

5. Community Building and Volunteer Engagement

NGOs create opportunities for civil society to come forward and unite to support military personnel. For example, NGOs create holiday programs for soldiers with the help of civil society. Similarly, NGOs create a sense of social responsibility and help soldiers assimilate into society.
Anyone who wants to support IDF soldiers can start donating money from today. Even a small donation can make a big difference to the lives of soldiers. However, the donation should be recurring. Many NGOs have their own products. You can buy their products and in this way promote the NGOs. You should remember that soldiers rely on their communities for mental and emotional support.

Update (Day 879) Swords of Iron-Roaring Lion – “Ground invasion into Lebanon”

Shalom khaverim, shalom friends. I am Sergeant Major Chaim Malespin. I serve in Israel’s Combat Engineering Corps, in the Yahalom elite unit for special missions. I’ve been deployed for 879 consecutive days—since Hamas attacked us in October 2023. I’ve served in Lebanon and Gaza, dealing with tunnels and ongoing operations to defend Israel in this national emergency, with only brief rests.

Update (Day 878) Swords of Iron-Roaring Lion – “Defend Against Hezbollah”

Wow. It’s Purim! In today’s video update I’m standing beside D9 bulldozers and tanks defending Israel—against Hamas in the south, Hezbollah in the north, and Iran behind them all. Lebanon’s Hezbollah has attacked again, firing missiles at us. We will not tolerate this anymore. The Houthis in Yemen are threatening full-scale attacks. It feels like many simply want to destroy Israel.

Update (Day 877) Swords of Iron – Roaring Lion – “Tragedy in the Triumph”

The sea is behind me in northern Israel, and rockets are hitting all over. Not far from Jerusalem, Beit Shemesh was struck directly—a large public bomb shelter hit. As I speak, explosions echo. Since the United States and Israel carried out a joint preemptive strike to halt Iran’s nuclear program and dismantle its ballistic missile capabilities, the region has shifted dramatically.
President Donald Trump, after exhausting efforts to secure a deal, called it what it is: an existential threat to Israel that would eventually reach America. He gave the green light. This moment underscores a hard truth—decisiveness matters. Not rhetoric, but action.
