Some 5,000 “Lone Soldiers” – Israel Defense Forces (IDF) soldiers with no immediate family in Israel – gathered yesterday at Israel’s largest waterpark, just outside of Tel Aviv, for a day of rest and recuperation. The “Fun Day” was hosted by Friends of the Israel Defense Forces (FIDF) in partnership with the IDF and Yachad Le’maan Ha’chayal (The Association for the Wellbeing of Israel's Soldiers and The LIBI Fund). For the first time ever, the organizations also hosted an additional “Fun Day,” for 5,000 front-line IDF combat soldiers at the waterpark today.
