Blind Terror Victim Volunteers for the IDF
(Israel Defense Forces) Oren Almog lost five members of his family as well as his eyesight in the 2003 Maxim Restaurant suicide bombing in Haifa, where 21 people were killed and 51 were wounded. Yet he insisted over the years on being treated just like his friends and he enlisted in the IDF on Jan. 26. "As someone who was hit pretty hard by terrorism I am proud to serve an organization that aims to protect the security of Israel, to prevent terrorism, and to protect its residents," he said. He has been accepted into an intelligence unit.
