Israel's war with Hamas is being fought by IDF soldiers from North to South

As Israel fights its war with Hamas in the Gaza area, the battles are being fought from bases across the country. One such base is the Ramat David Air Force base where the soldiers in the control tower are giving their support to the operations down South.

The soldiers manning the tower have been providing the Air Force with air control support since Saturday when the war broke out.

A united front

Lior, an officer who works in the tower, didn't wait to be called up. She dropped all her plans for the day and was at the base and ready to help within half an hour of seeing messages of the massive Hamas attack.

Morale on the base is high, she told The Jerusalem Post on Wednesday.

"We all understand the task at hand, the responsibility we have, and what it means," she said.

Lior's job is to focus on supporting her soldiers professionally and emotionally. As for them, this is the first time they're faced with a war of this scale.

"The tower is like a family," she said. "Everyone is together all the time and working toward victory."

They have also seen great support from their families and the rest of the nation, who have sent them everything they may need and more.

And while the fighting is mainly concentrated in the south by Gaza, she said that their work up in the North is meaningful for the operations down South.

Regarding the situation beginning to escalate on the northern border with rocket fire from Lebanon and Syria on Tuesday night, Lior said that for now, her base will be focusing on military support for the South, even though they are up North. However, they are still capable of and ready to help anywhere else in the country that they may be needed.
