The ceremony, which occurred at Camp Moshe Dayan at Glilot, north of Tel Aviv, was led by Col. N., the commander of the Telem Unit in Military Intelligence, which is receiving the volunteers. Telem is responsible for infrastructure, logistics, and for moving Military Intelligence to its new campus in the Negev region of southern Israel.
According to the IDF, all of the volunteers are pupils from a single Petach Tikva school, and are due to become part of Telem's routine activities.
Their involvement is part a program led by the Gdolim Bamadim ("great in uniform"), a non-profit organization dedicated to helping special needs youths.
