70 YEARS SINCE THE KALKILYA RAID: In the fall of 1956, terrorists crossing from Jordan were murdering Israelis again and again. On October 9, they killed two farm workers in an orchard near Even Yehuda. The very next night, 5 Cheshvan 5717, IDF paratroopers struck back at the Jordanian police fort in Kalkilya. The fort was blown up, but the force blocking Jordanian reinforcements was surrounded and had to be rescued in a long, hard battle. 18 IDF soldiers fell that night. We can learn a Mishnah in their memory today. Yehi Zichram Baruch. 🕯️ Join the JustMyIsrael Status!
