While at war, they develop a bond greater than what they have with their own family. "Beyond politics, I just couldn't stay at home and let the burden fall on them. If something would have happened to one of them I might have prevented by being here I couldn't have lived with that on my conscience."(Sagee) This specific quote illustrates the camaraderie they have for one another. .
War in Palestine is mostly done on foot with no air support, preferably at night. Israelis use information gathered from Palestinian informants to locate key targets throughout Palestine. The soldiers would take turns watching for suicide bombers while others slept leaving the Israeli army always on their toes. Wars were fought from high grounds and narrow hillsides to provide protection for the snipers. Soldiers would make buildings into a garrison to form a strong hold over the Palestinian suicide bombers and regiment. "What are we doing here? We go into some house, we take some people, and that's very nice, but there's no end this way." (Vardi) .
The Israeli army now faces a more challenging test than ever before. The Palestinian militia can now build booby traps that can truly shred an Israeli soldier into bits. Beyond that, they are also being given military supplies from their surrounding Arabic countries, such as Saudi Arabia and Yemen. Also, current intelligence reports that the Palestinian armies are making progress in their research on chemical warfare. Palsar soldiers have, for years, grown to live their lives in shadows and fright, for fear of the Palestinian suicide bombers. Only at night do they ever leave their places of refuge to fight a battle they know not when they will win. Considered one of the best armies in the world, the soldiers have realized they are fighting an enemy quick to adapt and even quicker to attack their weaknesses. Though they have fought for years, not much progress has been made in the campaign against the Palestinians.
