Yitzhak Rabin spoke of the importance of manpower and mobilizing reservists following the Yom Kippur War, echoing modern sentiments.
Representatives of the Ministry of Defense, investors, and entrepreneurs participated in a conference dedicated to startups operating in the security field.

Gallant, who also spoke, expressed gratitude and appreciation for the IDF commanders and soldiers, as well as members of the security forces, regular and reserve.
