A 'baby boom' is taking place in the "Alexandroni" reserve brigade's reconnaissance battalion. Ynet reports that exactly one year after the Second Lebanon War, which the battalion took part in, the battalion's men are fathering children at an unprecedented pace.
When the battalion got together for training this summer, they discovered that 20 soldiers could not make it to the first couple of days of training because their wives were giving birth. 15 other men who did make it either reported that their wives had given birth very recently, or were about to give birth.
