What is particularly lacking is olive green Tzitzit (*) for combat troops (a necessity because of camouflage [the usual white will stand out a mile/kilometer in the vegetated hills of Lebanon]).
At the behest of the IDF Rabbinate, I just bought 3,200 such pairs of Tzitzit for immediate supply up for the combat soldiers in Lebanon and Gaza. Together with my fellow officers from Judea/Samaria Division rabbinate, I am personally bringing the Tzitizit up north next week with more gift packages.
(*) Tzitzit are the term for the fringed garment worn by observant men under their shirt, sometimes called 'tallit katan' to distinguish it from the large prayer shawl worn in synagogue.
