In this episode of Mission Brief, Lieutenant Brielle speaks with Master Sergeant in reserve Yoav Tzivoni, an IDF reservist, combat medic, and sharpshooter who lost his leg in the early days of the Swords of Iron war.

Yoav shares his journey from growing up during the Second Intifada to serving in Gaza, and the life-changing injury that tested his strength and identity. After months of rehabilitation, he returned to his unit with a prosthetic leg, determined to keep serving — this time in a new role.

He opens up about the pain of losing his teammate Tzvika, the moral challenges IDF soldiers face, and his unwavering belief in justice and peace. This is a story of sacrifice, resilience, and what it truly means to serve.
