Summary

The 'lone soldiers' fight as members of the Israeli Defense Forces with no family living in Israel. Following the terror attacks of October 7th, hundreds of Jewish-Americans from more than twenty states have traveled to Israel to volunteer for the IDF. In the United States there is a group raising money and providing various areas of support for the 'lone soldiers'. FOX's Eben Brown speaks with Casey Stegall, FOX News correspondent based in Dallas, about the 'lone soldiers' program and his visit with a Dallas family whose daughter now serves with the IDF.
