Wow, IDF website, why do spoilers ?! One of the highlights of Independence Day for years is the beacon ceremony held in the transition between Remembrance Day and Independence Day. And of course it is signed by the flag-raising ceremony performed by dozens of soldiers and fighters from all IDF units.
The IDF decided to make a teaser for the ceremony and reveal two of the forms that the soldiers will perform at the pagan ceremony. Next to a syringe.The syringe, amusingly, will include a "vaccine" inside it that will be injected into the number.
Mount Herzl is currently completing its preparations for the mythological ceremony.
This time, due to the corona virus, only 500 people will attend the ceremony as an audience.
"It feels like I was born again," said Col. Benzi Asher, commander of the commanding ceremonies unit that accompanies all state ceremonies, and the eve of Independence in particular, for 20 years.
"Obviously performing in front of 500 people in a completely different audience than in front of 5,000, but the theme of 'Corona Year' is reflected here as well. I don't want to give too many clues, but it will be easy for viewers to identify the theme. It's worth leaving some room for imagination."
One can only assume that there will be many surprises at the ceremony, and in the meantime you have received a spoiler.
