The Magbit Israel Aid Fund
For over 32 years, the Magbit Foundation has been steadfast in its commitment to investing in those who dedicate their lives to the protection of our beloved State of Israel. Never has our commitment been stronger than now as Israeli civilians, were barbarically targeted by Hamas terrorists. If we cannot physically fight alongside our brave brothers and sisters who defend the country we all call home, then we have to stand by their side in this war and support them in every way we can.
We have raised close to $1.4 Million, getting closer to our $2 Million goal.
100% of all proceeds will be going directly (with no overhead) to verified sources to help victims of terror and IDF elite combat units. Together we can bring some light in these very dark days. Please join us in this community effort and show presence on behalf of the Iranian Jewish community to provide Israel the much needed support in this moment of unprecedented peril.

Unit 669
Unit 669 is the Israel Air Force's tactical rescue unit. The unit was formed as a result of the need to rescue pilots who abandoned their aircraft over enemy lines, but since then, its areas of responsibility have expanded significantly.
The unit specializes in aerial rescue missions for soldiers and civilians, regardless of location and conditions. It also participates in searches for missing soldiers.
The unit's symbol is the cat, which, like the unit, operates with agility and in secrecy but, when necessary, knows how to operate aggressively in a hostile environment.

Unit Egoz
The Egoz Unit (621) was established in 1995 and was named after the legendary "Egoz" reconnaissance unit. The unit was established in order to bring about a revolution in terms of the IDF's capabilities in combating the Hezbollah terror organization, and to this day it specializes in guerrilla warfare, mainly along the northern border of the country. It is a part of the Commando Brigade.
Egoz specializes in fighting in complex terrains, fieldcraft, camouflage, and in miniature warfare (short-range warfare in which the quality and professionalism of the soldier are the main components which bring them success). The unit operates at any time, in any arena and in every sector, while focusing on northern Israel.
The unit also has a unique weapons division – the unit's development company, which is responsible for finding creative solutions and technological innovations for problems that arise in the field, and providing protection against new enemy attacks.
