IDF Chief of Staff Benny Gantz on Monday hosted representatives of all of the IDF's military wings and divisions. The event took place at the Defense Ministry's Sukkah in Tel Aviv.

Those present included top officers and soldiers who had excelled in service from IDF land, sea, and air forces. Among those at the event were 27 officers from the Israel Air Force, 10 from the Navy, 37 from IDF land forces, 4 from Homefront Security units, and six from communications divisions.

“There is no time like Sukkot to talk about how we all work together,” Gantz told those assembled. “Each one of the parts of the whole are important. Each musical group has different members, but each member must be perfect at what they do in order to successfully make music. Alone, we are only worth what we are worth to ourselves, but together we can do much more.

“I cannot tell you what the challenges of the future will be,” Gantz said, “but I can tell you that whatever the challenges, no matter how difficult, we will be able to meet them if we are together. I take great pride in the officer corps of the IDF.”
