The hero who eliminated the evil mastermind of the October 7th attacks, Yahya Sinwar, is a 19-year-old soldier from the 97th Netzah Yehuda Battalion, previously known as Nahal Haredi, a unit in the Kfir Brigade of the IDF.
The purpose of the battalion is to allow ultra-Orthodox Jewish men to serve as combat soldiers in the IDF, by creating an atmosphere conducive to their religious convictions and strict observance of Jewish ritual laws.
In April 2024, Axios reported that the U.S. government plans to sanction the battalion under the Leahy Law for alleged human rights violations. The sanction would prevent the battalion or any of its members from receiving U.S. aid or entering the United States. Israeli leaders, including Benjamin Netanyahu, Yoav Gallant, and Benny Gantz, criticized the sanction plans, arguing that Israel’s justice system independently and adequately addresses human rights concerns.
