Alon is an exceptional person and someone who could feel like life is playing with him. A man whose life changed forever in the 1967 Six-Day War between Israel and allied Arab Nations. The war has been studied ad nauseam by historians and how the effective reserve units of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) had so much success against Arab Ary regulars. However, this story is different and personal, taking place at Ammunition Hill, a remote outpost in the northwest portion of Jerusalem with a labyrinth of trenches designed to protect British ammo supplies during the British Mandate of Palestine.
The site itself is a museum at this point, but the story of the men who fought there changed the trajectory of the war to give the IDF confidence enough to retake the Old City, however at a heavy price. Alon tells the story as a Director and from a personal perspective because this was his own unit that took the hill, and his father was a part of the unit. A family legacy of being generational paratroopers is actually common in Israel; the honor and pride of the unit have stood the test of time as it has been the part of every conflict Israel has been a part of.
The world is simply a better place with people like Alon representing his people and his country. Enjoy this incredible story!
