We Are Israel’s IDF Combat Photographers

We are fully trained combat soldiers — WITH cameras.

On the frontlines, we document the truth: the battles, the bravery, and the human cost of defending our homeland.

Under fire, we capture history as it happens — so the world remembers, and the truth cannot be distorted.

Throughout the war, much of our essential equipment was damaged or destroyed in combat. And while there is currently a ceasefire in some areas, our mission is far from over. We remain active across multiple zones throughout the entire country in all battle areas, continuing to operate in dangerous and unpredictable conditions.

Now, we need your support.

We are raising critical funds to replace destroyed gear and equip ourselves with the tools that protect us and allow us to keep working.

Combat Gear

• Ballistic vests, Kevlar helmets, and combat goggles

• Reinforced boots and weather-resistant uniforms

• Tactical backpacks designed to carry both combat and camera equipment

Photography Gear

• Helmet-mounted and GoPro cameras to capture real-time footage

• Shockproof cases, tactical camera straps, and encrypted SSDs

• Tactical gloves for protection, control, and precision

This is not just about survival.

It’s about telling Israel’s story — with accuracy, courage, and truth.

Stand with us.

Help us stay protected, stay operational, and continue documenting what the world needs to see.
