The Egoz Boys

We talked to some members of the Israel Defense Forces Egoz unit, an elite commando unit specializing in guerrilla warfare, special reconnaissance, and fighting in complex terrains.

We asked them about going into Gaza after Oct. 7, near-death experiences, and staying sane when you’re a 24-year-old with your friends’ lives in your hands.

Egoz has more than 20 fallen soldiers and 235 wounded soldiers since the start of the war. Their unit started a foundation, which can be found here, that helps with aid for wounded soldiers, aid to the families of fallen soldiers, retreats with specialists for soldiers with PTSD, and much more.
