Yesterday, the entire Paratroopers Brigade soared through the air as part of their first operational parachuting drill in the last 15 years. The drill was conducted under the supervision of the Brigade’s Commander, Col. Amir Bar’am, and in the presence of Maj. Gen. Gershon Hacohen, who for the record dived in right along with their soldiers.
