Observing Shabbat in the Gaza Strip
Since the beginning of the war and particularly since the IDF’s ground operation inside the Gaza Strip, soldiers fighting in the region have repeatedly had to observe Shabbat away from home. This includes soldiers from the Golani Brigade’s 12th Battalion, who conducted a Friday evening Kiddush in Khan Younis, as well as soldiers from the 5th Reserve Division who were documented welcoming Shabbat in Khuzaʽa.
