As people are witnessing the coverage of the tragedy in Israel, some locals with ties to Fort Myers are joining the fight. “A lot of soldiers were killed,” said Logan Aleph. “The issues being on the border were burned to the ground. Three guys from my unit, they were killed in the initial action. Another friend of ours, rocket attacks during his funeral. The civilian population is hysterical. They should be.” Aleph is fighting for the Israeli army. He grew up in Israel but now lives in Fort Myers. Aleph attends Chabad Lubavitch of Southwest Florida. “My parents live in Netanya. I have to go to protect them. My wife and daughter and the family, they’re in the United States. They’re fine. Everybody’s fine. This, you can’t let it go,” Aleph said. While Aleph told WINK News he couldn’t say where he is or what he’s doing, he did say he was safe for now. Aleph said he served many years ago in Israel’s special forces undercover terror unit.
