Soldiers from the IDF's first regular-service Haredi company, the 'Hashmonaim,' concluded their beret march at the Western Wall this morning, marking the end of eight months of intensive combat training.

The troops entered the Western Wall plaza singing the traditional song "Yibaneh Hamikdash" and shouting the rallying cry "Mi La-Hashem eilay!" ("All who are for G-d - follow me!"). A large crowd, including family members, gathered to celebrate the milestone ceremony.

The Hashmonaim company, part of efforts to integrate ultra-Orthodox (Haredi) soldiers into full combat roles while respecting their religious practices, will soon deploy alongside other fighting units.
