For Israel's Independence Day in 2021, the flags have finally returned for the torch lighting ceremony. And in some shape.
Known as the largest and the most-watched ceremony in Israel, last year's torch lighting ceremony was canceled after weeks of rehearsals due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Indeed, the formation of the flag holders this year will take the shape of a coronavirus vaccine, as a symbol for the year that passed.
"It feels like I was reborn," shared Col. Benzi Asher, commander of the IDF's Ceremonies Unit, who has accompanied all state ceremonies, in particular for Independence Day, for the last 20 years.
