(IDF) The IDF Combat Communication Course- Another 4-month "Operational Documentation" course for soldiers from selected units has concluded under the auspices of the IDF Spokesperson's Unit. The course enables soldiers to document with their cameras the daily activities of their units. Soldiers learn everything concerning photography, picture angles, filming in motion, and night filming, with practice during operational activities. The commander of the Film and Photography Unit explained that the course is a result of the terror incidents that started four years ago. While there have been reports that armed Palestinians shoot from behind children, by the time the IDF Film Unit crew arrived for documentation, the terrorists were already gone. Since the terrorist organizations take advantage of every opportunity to capture a photographed story from their perspective, the IDF decided to train its soldiers to photograph events as the soldiers see them.
