Israeli War Hero Faces His Greatest Challenge
This brave heroic “Rambo-like” figure served his people for over 35 years without fear or hesitation until he faced the most difficult challenge of his life… the birth of his autistic son Eran.
General Almog Served in the IDF as:
» Member of the IDF Paratroop Brigade
» Platoon Commander
» IDF Special Operations Team
» Pursuit of Terrorist of Munich Massacre
» First Para-Reconnaissance Commander in Entebbe Airport Rescue
» Brigade Commander – Southern Command
Doron Almog was born in Israel in 1951. During a distinguished 35-year career in the IDF, he fought in four wars and participated in a number of special operations, including the Tripoli Command raid in pursuit of the terrorists behind the massacre of Israeli Olympians in Munich in 1972, the rescue operation at Entebbe airport in 1976, and the airlift of Ethiopian Jews in 1983-85.
General Almog rose rapidly through the ranks of the IDF, first as a paratroop platoon and brigade commander, until his promotion to Major General and Corps Commander in 1998. From 2000 through 2003, he served as Commander-in-Chief of the IDF’s Southern Command. During that time, the Southern Command faced more than 12,000 terrorist incidents without allowing a single suicide bomber to breech its defenses.
After the birth of his son Eran, General Almog devoted much of his time and focus to assisting children, teens and adults with special needs. He is the founder and Chairman of Aleh Negev, a 25-acre Rehabilitative Village in the Negev for developmentally disabled children and young adults.
