How Israeli Veterans Transition from Yom Hazikaron & Yom Ha’atzmaut

In this i24NEWS Memorial Day special (13:24), two Israeli combat veterans – an Israeli-Arab who served in the Second Lebanon War and a trauma counselor who works with IDF soldiers and their families – share their personal experiences of remembering loved ones and comrades on Yom Hazikaron. They discuss the emotional and psychological challenges of commemorating Yom Hazikaron and Yom Ha’atzmaut back-to-back, questioning whether or not this poignant symbolism demands too much of the many Israelis grieving personal losses.
