Following the tragic events of October 7th, nearly 3,000 Technion students responded to the urgent call from the army and have been serving in the IDF reserves ever since. Some of them drove tanks in the harshest conditions in Gaza and the North, others operated the Iron Dome and other sophisticated air defense systems, while others assisted in logistics and classified operations.
With great admiration for their service and a deep sense of national responsibility, we extend our support to these brave individuals. Despite the obstacles they face on campus, we are committed to ensuring that their transition back to academic studies is as accommodating and efficient as possible.

Supporting Technion Reservists: A Call to Action

In the face of adversity, our nation turns to those who answer the call of duty with courage and selflessness. At the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, we are deeply proud of the sacrifice and commitment demonstrated by our students who, when called up for reserved duty, willingly paused their lives to defend their country. These exceptional men and women put their personal and educational aspirations on hold to safeguard our nation. The Technion deeply acknowledges the profound impact that military service has on the lives of our students who were drafted.
