“That week was brutal. We came back from missions, and the tents felt like fire — over 50°C. None of us could sleep; some soldiers nearly collapsed. We keep telling ourselves to push through… but the heat just keeps coming.” - Soldier stationed in Southern Israel
Just a week and a half ago, Israel recorded its hottest weather in history, with temperatures reaching near 50°C in some areas. Soldiers endured that extreme heat in thin canvas tents, with no way to cool down after long hours in combat.

A nationwide campaign is underway to send mobile AC units directly to the field, giving soldiers a safe place to rest between missions.
Now, even as the heatwave passes, summer temperatures remain excruciatingly high. Soldiers are still returning from missions to stifling tents where it is nearly impossible to rest or recover.
Our soldiers just survived Israel’s hottest days ever — and they are still facing dangerous heat. Click here to donate a mobile AC to cool a tent of 8 - 10 soldiers.
