Israeli Mother of 5 Joins Husband and Sons on Front Lines in Gaza


(Ynet News) Gal Ganot - Shlomit, 48, works as a nurse at Meir Medical Center in central Israel. When the war broke out nearly two years ago, her husband, S., and two of their five sons, Y., 28, and M., 24, were immediately called up for reserve duty. "I saw that they had been fighting for a long time, and I felt I wanted to be part of it too," she says. She joined the IDF reserves and now serves as a nurse in the surgical company of an armored brigade. "My children and family are very proud, and not surprised that I'm here. The soldiers around me work hard, but they do it with a smile. You can see their spirit. Whatever's needed - they're there. I give as much as I can. It's the least I can contribute to the war."
