A reserve captain completed a combat company commanders course at a base, receiving his commander pin while holding his infant daughter, born a month before October 7, 2023.

A reserve captain in the IDF completed a combat company commanders course on Wednesday and received his commander pin at the graduation ceremony, according to a single reported account. The officer's infant daughter — born about a month before the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack — was held in his arms as he received the pin. The captain was called up for reserve duty immediately after the war began, and his wife raised the baby alone for roughly six months. The post, shared on social media by reports, framed the moment as a symbol of resilience among Israeli reserve soldiers balancing family and prolonged military service. No further details about the captain's unit or the course location are available in this item. The report is a single-source social-media post with no additional corroboration.
