A Toast to Christmas
In honor of Christmas a toast to the Christian soldiers from the Desert Reconnaissance Battalion took place yesterday at the Amiti Base in Kerem Shalom. In this Battalion, which is subordinate to the southern Brigade from the Gaza Formation, the Jewish soldiers serve alongside with the Bedouin, Christian and Arab Israeli soldiers.
The toast was attended by the Commander of the Desert Reconnaissance Battalion, Lieutenant Colonel Waspi, who blessed the Christian soldiers and wished them a merry christmas.

Christians and Jews. We share many values, the same God, and are in this epic battle together.
