Fifty years ago, Israel found itself in a struggle for its existence only 18 years after its War of Independence as Egypt, Syria and Jordan sought to destroy the Jewish State in the Six-Day War. The conflict was a landmark moment in the history of the Middle East and its legacies are still being felt by Israel and the region to this day.
Lt. Aliz Noi fought in the Paratroopers brigade tasked with halting the Jordanian advance through the city of Jerusalem. In this video testimony, Noi recounts his experience being injured in battle and losing a leg at the age of 22, his road to recovery, and the enthusiasm for life he has retained in the face of adversity.
