In a ceremony at the President's Residence, Israel's Defense Minister, the IDF Chief of Staff, and President Herzog awarded the Israel Security Prize to teams from the Defense Ministry, IDF, Mossad, Shin Bet, and defense industries — for breakthrough technological projects that significantly impacted the current war effort, the Defense Ministry says.
The Israel Security Prize was awarded Wednesday evening at the President's Residence in Jerusalem in the presence of President Isaac Herzog, Defense Minister Israel Katz, and IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Eyal Zamir. According to the Ministry of Defense, the prize recognized teams from across the defense establishment — the ministry itself, the IDF, Mossad, Shin Bet, and defense industries — for classified and unclassified technological projects deemed 'breakthrough' and impactful on the ongoing war against Hamas and Hezbollah. The brief official announcement did not specify which projects were honored or the names of the recipients. The award ceremony comes during the 14th month of the Swords of Iron war, as Israel continues multi-front operations. As The Zioneer reported yesterday, the President also awarded the Presidential Volunteer Prize in a separate ceremony.
