Since October 7th, Operation Israel has been on the frontlines alongside our soldiers – rushing protective gear into battle, deploying life-saving technology, and building the support infrastructure that keeps our defenders alive. We've formed incredible relationships with units on the ground across Israel.
Now, we're inviting a select group of supporters to join us on the ground, in Israel, through unprecedented access to bases, units, and the warriors themselves, to meet the defenders we have all been supporting for the past two years.
This isn't a tour. It's a mission – a rare, behind-the-scenes immersion into IDF operations that no civilian can access. You'll walk onto active bases and outposts, meet the soldiers your support has equipped, see the projects you've helped build in action, and understand what it really takes to defend Israel today.
This is your chance to step into the reality we've been living – to witness the impact firsthand, connect with the people protecting our homeland, and return home equipped to mobilize even greater support.
If you're ready to go beyond the headlines and see who Israel's defenders truly are, this exclusive mission is for you.
Enter operational zones, bases, and outposts where real defense work happens. Every stop is cleared through active units – authentic, raw, and mission-driven, subject to operational need and availability.
Walk through live environments where soldiers prepare, train, and deploy. You’ll see not the ceremony - but the heartbeat - of the IDF.
Share meals, laughter, and hard truths with the men and women on the frontlines. These are not staged encounters - they’re honest moments of human connection.
Tour the labs, workshops, and field deployments where your support becomes life-saving technology. Watch ingenuity meet purpose.
Receive unfiltered insight from commanders and specialists who shape Israel’s defense strategy.
From hotels and secure transport to coordination and most meals - every detail is managed so you can stay present and engaged.
Join a select group of peers who share your commitment and curiosity. Fewer people means deeper access and richer conversations.
Return home with powerful stories, tools, and messaging to mobilize your own community and expand the impact you’ve already started.

Note: The itinerary depends on safety and unit availability. Because we operate alongside active soldiers, conditions at the time may affect timing or access; however, we will do our best to minimize any interruptions and if a visit is canceled or rescheduled, replace it with another visit.
This mission pairs rare access with clear action. The purpose of the trip is to accelerate support for the units and projects you’ll see on the ground.
We’ll set a collective fundraising goal with participants before departure and share progress updates.
Each participant agrees to actively engage their network during and after the trip. Individual targets are aligned during onboarding – no surprises.
We provide a fundraising playbook, talking points, shareable assets, and 1:1 guidance so outreach feels natural and effective.
All funds raised will go toward advancing the protective, medical, and humanitarian projects of Operation Israel.
Includes: Hotels, in-country transportation, coordination, meals, attractions, site visits, programming. Flights and travel insurance NOT included.
NOTE: We will strive to provide high-quality accommodations; however, where security or proximity to units takes precedence (e.g., soldier base visits), accommodations may be more modest.
