WATCH: IDF soldiers light the menorah in Lebanon

IDF soldiers lit the menorah in southern Lebanon on Wednesday evening, the first night of Chanukah. A hostage family lit at the Western Wall, Jerusalem.

Chanukah is the Festival of Fighters

The Maccabees didn’t win with miracles alone—they fought tooth and nail for Jewish survival.
