The strongest people there are. First of all here, here, and in the heart.

And we will go room by room, house by house, village by village, until there is no

Hezbollah in southern Lebanon. Did you hear me?

- Yes!

Hayde!

We will do this in an orderly way, we will do this slowly,

thoroughly, and we will make sure that our children will not have to

do this again. Because when we do this,

this is the last time it will need to be done. I am

immensely proud to command you today. You are part of the history

of this country. We are at a historic moment, we are in the last

chapter of the book, and we are going to write this chapter. Only

us. I am now going to start a long-standing tradition,

and I want even those who do not know it to join me.

I shout, you repeat after me. With heads held high!

- With heads held high!

We will return from our mission!

- We will return from our mission!

Only with honor!

- Only with honor!

Soaked in blood!

- Soaked in blood!

And victorious!

- And victorious!

We will raise our flag!

- We will raise our flag!

We are!

- Torches!

We are!

- Torches!

Come on, let’s bring them back!

Am Yisrael Chai, Am Yisrael Chai, the Holy One, blessed be He, we

love you, Holy One, blessed be He, we love you

Am Yisrael Chai, Am Yisrael Chai, the Holy One, blessed be He, we

love you, Holy One, blessed be He, we love you

Whoever believes is not afraid of losing faith, and we have the

King of the world, and He protects us from everyone, whoever believes is not

afraid of losing faith, and we have the King of the world, and He

protects us from everyone, Am Yisrael Chai, Am Yisrael Chai, the Holy One,

blessed be He, we love you, Holy One, blessed be He, we

love you. Please, Adonai, save

us now, please, Adonai, save us now. “Shema Yisrael, Adonai Eloheinu,

Adonai Echad.” “Shema Yisrael, Adonai Eloheinu, Adonai Echad.”

“Adonai hu ha’Elohim, Adonai hu ha’Elohim, Adonai Melech,

Adonai Malach, Adonai Yimloch le’olam va’ed. Adonai Melech,

Adonai Malach, Adonai Yimloch

le’olam va’ed.” “May the pleasantness of Adonai our God be upon us, and the work

of our hands establish for us, and the work of our hands establish it. Come on, war!”

Anonymous soldiers are we, without uniforms, and around us terror

and the shadow of death. All of us were drafted for life: only

death releases from the ranks. In red days of riots and blood, at night

black with despair, in cities, in villages, our flag we shall raise,

and upon it, defense and conquest!

We were not drafted with a whip like a horde of slaves, to spill in foreign lands our

blood. Our desire is to be free people forever!

Our dream is to die for our country. In red days

of

riots and blood, in the black nights of despair,

in cities, in villages, our flag we shall raise, and upon it defense and conquest!

And from every side, myriads of obstacles, where a cruel fate lies upon our path;

yet enemies,

spies and prisons will not be able to stop us. In red

days of riots and blood, in the black nights

of despair,

in cities, in villages, our

flag we shall raise, and upon it defense and conquest!

My Haim, I love you.
