Disabled IDF Veteran Volunteers for Reserve Duty


(Ynet News) Tiki Golan - Actor Dean Miroshnikov, 36, who has business ventures in the bustling nightlife center of Nachalat Binyamin in Tel Aviv, volunteered in November 2023 for the "Magen Be'eri" reserve battalion (a group of veterans from elite IDF units). As a disabled IDF veteran, Miroshnikov was not required to serve. In 2010, while serving in the Shayetet 13 marine commando unit, he was injured during the Gaza flotilla raid. By December, his battalion entered Gaza. He spent most of the past year in Gaza and the West Bank. He says, "One of the reasons I serve in the reserves is because of what I see in the West Bank. Every night, we arrest people trying to harm us, infiltrate the country, and carry out attacks. If my team and I can stop even ten terrorists who could have reached Nachalat Binyamin to carry out attacks, that's why I do it....If we don't do this, there won't be a country."
