Highlights: This is what a country that finds solace looks like: the morning after the release of the kidnapped - voila! news. The streets are empty of people, the sounds of open TV or radio come from the windows of the houses, the few who were not allowed to enjoy another little time at home in front of the screens, smile at each other in the street. For comparison, one can hang from the tallest tree in the memory of the old readers: the wind of Entebbe sang on this morning. Even Brigadier General Hagari, the man with the poker face and the impossible diction, has trouble hiding his smile.


This morning, just like "that" morning, caught most of the citizens of Israel by complete surprise, which mainly proved how much we needed good news

The streets are empty of people, the sounds of open TV or radio come from the windows of the houses, the few who were not allowed to enjoy another little time at home in front of the screens, smile at each other in the street.

For comparison, one can hang from the tallest tree in the memory of the old readers: the wind of Entebbe sang on this morning.



Sometimes it seems that our expectations of the IDF are almost illogical: we demand our wars in the one-time format of the Six Day War and in the special operations we expect a peak, the tight line between Aviv Naorim and Operation Jonathan.



All of this of course contradicts the IDF we know well From the regular service and the reserves, the tired, the clumsy, the clumsy - and sometimes the unintelligent.

Well, whether we like to admit it or not, we are both.



But this morning we woke up on the good side, the sophisticated side, the smart side, the happy side, the one that makes us feel proud and exalted, which will very quickly be detailed in the details of the operation: which units participated in it, what exactly happened there, how the intelligence met the operational capabilities at the best level - Oh, how we needed such a morning!



Even Brigadier General Hagari, the man with the poker face and the impossible diction, has trouble hiding his smile. Of course, he maintains a serious expression, but his face is beaming, just like that - like everyone else's face this morning.

There is no Israeli who did not feel this morning as if they were his family/image processing, no

Let us savor this morning for a moment

This moment does not take place in an empty space of course, but with two survivors from the Magellan cruiser who fell in the battles yesterday, he does not forget the fact that just as IDF spokesman Brigadier General Daniel Hagari said: "2 families woke up to a new morning where the sun rose, 134 families are still Expectations", but for one moment we can embrace the "yes", something that is so difficult for us to do.



Our relations with the IDF are complex, we have already said: we yearn for the spirit of Entebbe, the insiders among us remember the bad things from our service days, but we all know that the IDF also reflects the less flattering sides of our personalities.



Even on this morning, we need to remember and be reminded: the IDF this morning is correcting but little of the biggest breach in its history, the breach of security that made this disaster possible in the first place, part of which was manifested in an unaccounted number of abductees, alongside a heartbreaking number of victims.



In fact, you know what? All this It's obvious and obvious, but wait a minute,

let us embrace the joy even for one morning, feel part of the Merman family and the Har families, be moved, admire the IDF and sing "Long live this nation, how good it is like this" - a moment before we return to grumbling, rightfully so , for everything that is broken
