Jumping For 60

150 paratroopers from around the world are in Israel, for a mass jump to salute the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) during its 60th anniversary celebrations. Countries represented include the US, , England, France, Spain, Germany, Finland, Denmark, Sweden, Singapore, South Africa, Canada, Greece, Italy and Switzerland.

Several have special ties to Israel:

A Dutch paratrooper, Jesper Nels, who is the grandson of Righteous Gentiles, will plant an olive tree next to the memorial and will meet the family of the man who was saved by his grandfather….
One of the participants, a French Foreign Legionnaire named Yoni, is named after Yoni Netanyahu, the commander who was killed in the legendary Entebbe rescue operation.

During the visit:

Israeli paratroopers in the "Oketz" unit then briefed their foreign colleagues on the capabilities of their group.
