Israel will send a delegation to the Invictus Games next year in Dusseldorf for the first time.
The games, which were first held in 2014 and founded by Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, are an international sporting event for wounded, injured and sick members or veterans of the military.
“Israel has a long-standing respect for the power of sport in recovery, and I’m pleased they are joining our wider community this year,” says Dominic Reid, CEO of the Invictus Games Foundation.
Limor Luria, head of the Defense Ministry’s rehabilitation department, says Israel is “very happy to be invited to participate in the Invictus Games Dusseldorf 2023. Being a part of the Invictus Community will provide more opportunities for recovery among veterans who were wounded or became ill whilst serving. In Israel, we have learnt a great deal about the importance of physical activity as a positive catalyst for recovery and rehabilitation.”
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
