The Golani Brigade continues its tradition of holding a race from the north to the south, and began its 24th such race in Kiryat Shemona on Sunday. Commanders agreed on Tuesday that the race would be held in Sderot as well, despite the risk of rocket attacks.



The soldiers running in the race will be trained in the proper response to the “Color Red” rocket alert system. They will not stop to meet with the Mayor, as is done in other cities. Soldiers expressed satisfaction with the decision.
