Raw Footage: On Eve of Israel's Memorial Day, Images from Mt. Herzl in Jerusalem
This evening (April 27) at 8 p.m., sirens will wail throughout Israel, ushering in the Jewish State's national observance of Memorial Day.
The memory of more than 22,000 Israelis who fell in battles, wars, and terrorist attacks as far back as 1860 is marked in a series of ceremonies and tributes at scores of cemeteries.
Practically all of Israel's television and cable channels go dark, except for those few airing 24 hours' worth of profiles and documentaries of fallen soldiers and the stories of their final moments.
In these images, shot by Mordechai I. Twersky earlier today, we see the graves of Israel's fallen soldiers at Mt.Herzl, the national cemetery in Jerusalem.
One need not understand Hebrew in order to sense the moment; the ages written on the stones, the chirping of the birds in the background, speak volumes.
