There is also an option to meet at a military base where participants will take a part in a discussion with uniformed fighters. The participants will have the time to ask the soldiers general and personal questions about their service in the IDF.<br \/>\nAfter that we will go to the highest point in the area and get a brief explanation of the events that have happened there in the past, the historical background and the history of the IDF. All the guides of that activity are IDF orphans and veterans of the elite units who are knowledgeable and fluent English speakers.<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"span6 \"><iframe  id=\"_ytid_70936\"  width=\"604\" height=\"340\"  data-origwidth=\"604\" data-origheight=\"340\"  src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zIPcLaqLSdA?enablejsapi=1&autoplay=0&cc_load_policy=0&cc_lang_pref=&iv_load_policy=1&loop=0&modestbranding=0&rel=1&fs=1&playsinline=0&autohide=2&theme=dark&color=red&controls=1&\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"autoplay;
