In the latest Channel 18 interview, we sit down with Yoni Tokayer, widely known as one half of the viral music duo 'Yonina'. Yoni shares the amazing story of how him and his wife went from global musical phenomenon to the front lines of the IDF in Judea and Samaria.
Journeying through the "Hesder" program to the Kfir Brigade's elite Haruv unit, Yoni provides a rare, firsthand look at the intense reality of conducting midnight counter-terror raids in Judea and Samaria.
Some of the interesting details of his story include surreal accounts of rapid mobilization following October 7th, battling manipulated "fake news" while rescuing civilians, and even unearthing a First Temple period wine press during a tense nighttime military ambush!
And finally, Yoni shares his vision for a secure Israel that calls for taking true governmental responsibility, dismantling radical indoctrination in the education system, and establishing a realistic framework for coexistence of all residents living in Israel.
