Amid the launch of major military operations and the unfolding miracles of biblical proportions, Chabad shluchim, bochurim, and Anash across Eretz Yisroel are making sure that soldiers on the front lines do not miss out on celebrating Purim.

On Shabbos, the Israel Defense Forces launched Operation Lion’s Roar against Iran, escalating into full conflict after precision strikes destroyed over 600 targets, including missiles, launchers, and command centers, eliminated senior IRGC commanders, and killed Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, leaving Iran’s leadership in disarray.

At home, Israel declared a state of emergency, called up tens of thousands of reservists on Shabbos, and maintains a significant presence on the northern border. After heavy strikes against Hezbollah, the IDF has entered southern Lebanon, and Al Arabiya reports an IDF ground operation in Iran last night.

Chabad shluchim quickly adapted to the rapidly changing situation, and within hours, many groups were arranged to reach soldiers on all fronts, including the Gaza border, the northern front, Lebanon, and beyond.

They brought the joy and mitzvos of Purim directly to the troops with mishloach manos, Purim seudas on the go, and hours of uplifting programming.

Bochurim prepared hundreds of packages for soldiers, courtesy of Chayal el Chayal, distributing them at forward deployment bases, reading the Megillah, dancing, and farbrengening with troops for hours.

Chabad of Tefen, led by Rabbi Kutty Modovnik, visited dozens of soldiers, arranging seudas on the go for those unable to be home, while shluchim like Rabbi Nissan Dovid Dubov, who had arrived to speak at a Farbrengen in Tzfas but could not return to his shlichus in Wimbledon, London for Purim, read the Megillah on the Lebanon border and inspired the troops.

Across Israel, Chabad’s coordinated efforts reach soldiers at every post, ensuring that even amid active operations, they feel connected, uplifted, and able to celebrate the joy and mitzvos of Purim.
