Video: The IDF's elite Egoz unit and Roi Klein
I chanced upon this video when I searched for the previous one. Egoz is one of the IDF's most elite units. As you will see in this report from Israel's Channel 2, Egoz undertakes some of the IDF's most dangerous missions, deep in enemy territory. The latter part of the video deals with one of the unit's most legendary officers, Roi Klein HY"D (may God avenge his blood), and his death falling on a grenade - and saving his soldiers' lives - in Bint Jbeil in the summer of 2006. This is an amazing video that includes footage of Egoz soldiers in an ambush that was commanded by Klein outside of Jenin in the summer of 2002.

Just to add that Shalom Achshav (Peace Now), have filed suit with the government to destroy the neighborhood within the community of Eli, where Klein used to live and his widow and children still reside.
And that is the story of modern day Israel.
Shy guy,
You might also want to see this post about Amihai Merhavia (Klein's neighbor who was killed in the same battle as Klein) and what the border police did to him before he was killed in Lebanon.
speaking of Egoz:
