Heroes Descend from the Sky<\/strong>
\nIt’s a Bird… It’s a Plane… It’s Superman! Volunteers dressed as superheroes arrived at Schneider Children’s Medical Center in the most creative way possible\u2014descending from the hospital roof on ropes. These volunteers, elite counterterrorism officers from the Yamam unit, partnered with the Our Children Foundation<\/a> to bring joy to the young patients.<\/p>\n

A Purim Tradition of Courage and Kindness<\/strong>
\nThis heartwarming event takes place annually in the spirit of Purim, featuring Yamam fighters in superhero costumes rappelling down the hospital walls and handing out Purim gift packages to hospitalized children. Each child also gets to take a picture with their favorite superhero.<\/p>\n

Honoring Fallen Heroes<\/strong>
\nThis year\u2019s event was dedicated to the memory of the fallen commanders of the Israel Police’s Yamam counter-terrorism unit, the \u201cMonkeys\u201d team\u2014Chief Inspector Alexei Shamkalov, 34, of Haifa, Superintendent Moshael Shlomo, 32, from Ramle, and Chief Inspector Arnon Zamora 36, from Sde David\u2014who gave their lives in the Swords of Iron War.<\/p>\n

Alexei Shamaklov and Moshael Shlomo fell on October 7th while battling Hamas terrorists who infiltrated Israel and attacked the communities in the Gaza border region. Shamaklov lost his life in the fierce battle to reclaim the Sderot police station, which had been overrun by Hamas operatives.<\/p>\n

Arnon Zamora fell during Operation Summer Seeds, later renamed Operation Arnon in his honor. In this daring rescue mission, Israeli forces successfully freed four hostages held in the heart of the Nuseirat refugee camp in Gaza. Zamora was the only Israeli soldier killed in the operation, which ended in the safe recovery of all four captives.<\/p>\n
