Lone soldiers under financial strain, fear IDF scholarship bill won't pass
Delays in the passing of the IDF scholarship bill have put many lone soldiers under financial strain, and if the law doesn't pass Monday, they fear they won't be able to continue their studies.
There are more than 6,000 lone soldiers serving in the IDF with no family to support them and provide for them. They are highly motivated to serve the country with a large number serving in combat units.(photo credit: DR. BRANT SLOMOVIC)ByMICHAEL STARRUpdated:
