IDF resorts to creative means to lure kids to enlist in notorious Kfir Brigade
By Haaretz Staff and Channel 10
Tags: Israel News, Kfir Brigade 
Haaretz.com/Channel 10 daily feature for November 19, 2008

The Kfir Infantry Brigade of the Israel Defense Forces is finding itself coming up with some creative tricks to attract high school students readying for enlistment.

In one attempt to lend some exoticism to the brigade's activities, an entire mock Palestinian village was constructed at the Bakum, the IDF's induction and processing base. A muezzin, a casbah, a vegetable market, and checkpoint were all thrown in for a bit of color.

ut promoting the Kfir Brigade is largely an attempt to clear its name. The brigade's soldiers were recently found to be the IDF's main perpetrators of crimes against Palestinians.
