Eden Golan, who represented Israel at the 2024 Eurovision Song Contest, is set to trade her stage attire for military fatigues.

The young singer, who achieved a commendable fifth place in the international competition, has received her first military summons.

Despite facing adversity directed at both Israel and herself during Eurovision, the young artist delivered a stellar performance with the hit "Hurricane."

On Sept. 19, Golan will take her first steps toward military service by reporting for her initial summons. Her unique talents are expected to be utilized within the IDF, where she is likely to serve as a performer, showcasing her musical abilities for fellow soldiers as part of the military's cadre of exceptional artists.
