The Fort Brigade

A year on the Beaufort Outpost through the eyes of a military combat observer.

“There is nothing in this world as terrible as war. Most days, there is nothing heroic about it; only coincidence and chaos. The media loves talking about the fallen. Few ever talk about the men and women who survived, left to live with the memories of war for the rest of their lives. No one sees them as heroes. But I do.”

Former IDF intelligence NCO Gil Shilo captures the brutal reality of day-to-day life as a member of Lebanon’s Beaufort brigade, the infamous, deadliest outpost beyond the Israel-Lebanon border.
