American Donors Supplying IDF with Thousands of Bulletproof Helmets and Vests
(Israel Hayom) Ariel Kahana - The "Am Yisrael Chai" project has raised $1.5 million to buy 4,000 tactical helmets, and 25,000 pieces of clothing, including tactical uniforms, fireproof overalls, and winter gear, and is literally saving lives. The equipment includes ceramic vests, armored backpacks, and telescopic sights. One Jewish community from the New York area is behind the operation and has already brought 11 shipments to Israel. The driving force behind the project said, "I've never been involved in donating to Israel or the IDF....But this is about saving soldiers' lives and I can't just sit by and watch."
