Beginning: 1900 CET (admission from 1845 CET)

A terrorist organization launches rockets from within a densely populated urban area, using civilians as human shields. The army responding must decide – do they risk civilian lives to neutralize the threat, or hold fire and risk their own citizens? This is the daily reality faced by the Israeli Defense Forces.
War has been a constant in human history, yet its effects ripple far beyond the battlefield. It challenges not only nations but individuals, testing the boundaries of ethics and humanity. How do individuals reconcile their personal morality with the demands of war?
Dr. Walfisch is director of a large rural health center that treats around 3,200 patients. In addition, Dr. Walfisch serves in the IDF as lead physician of a combat brigade, commanding a team of 50 doctors. In 2023 he was appointed chairman of the Ethical Board of the Israeli Medical Association.
