Private Initiative Raises $40 Million for IDF Soldiers
(Calcalist) Ariela Karmel - Since the start of the war, Eran Efrat, an Amsterdam-based Israeli entrepreneur and managing partner at Verdiesel, a green energy investment fund, has raised $40 million to purchase tactical gear for IDF soldiers. We "decided to focus on helmets and bullet-proof vests, and now we've also started locating thermal drones, 360 degree cameras for armored vehicles, and medical equipment," says Efrat. The army has tested the equipment from U.S. suppliers and the orders were modified based on IDF requirements.
