Major Yair Alkalai: Hero from 2014 fights in Gaza again

The commander who received a Medal of Honor during 'Tzuk Eitan' in 2014, returns to the belly of terror in Gaza

IDF Spokesperson 11.07.2024

"We didn't know if this was the right thing to do, but it was clear - we are entering the tunnel":

Major Yair Alkalai encountered the tunnels of Gaza for the first time as a commander in the Givati patrol at 'Tzuk Eitan' - he bravely jumped into it, trying to save his comrades in arms. A decade after the incident for which he received a Medal of Honor, he fought again in Gaza, this time as a commander of reserve fighters. We went back to those moments.

Major Alkalai is a fine example of the brave people who are fighting for their lives and to keep Israel safe from terrorists. I don't know him, but I am proud we have such people in this world.

I must admit… I’m a bit jealous of the unselfish dedication to something beyond their own comfort and video games… I deeply miss this in America😢😞

I can’t wait to hear that the next terrorist to be killed is Sinwar. That coward is hiding and most likely has hostages near by him. His days are numbered. I pray every day for the hostages. 🙏

God is with you Major Yair Alkalai. Israel will kill the Hamas terrorist and take back the land God gave to them but more importantly you will free the hostages.

Major Yair Alkalai you and the other IDF soldiers are brave. You knew that you could have died going into that tunnel. 10 years later you are there to eliminate Hamas.
