Bedouin unit to celebrate Eid holiday on base
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleBecause of the fighting in the Gaza Strip, soldiers in the Bedouin Reconnaissance Battalion 585, known in Israel as Gadsar Habedoui, will not be heading home today for the Eid al-Fitr holiday marking the end of Ramadan.
Instead, a celebratory barbecue will be held on the unit’s base in Kerem Shalom on the Gaza Border, hosted by Lt. Col. Zahi Rahal, the battalion commander.
The battalion is made up of soldiers from Israel’s Arabic-speaking communities, with the exception of Druze. This includes Bedouin, Arab Muslims from Israel’s cities, and Arab Christians.
The unit holds a sector along the Israel-Gaza border.
