Official summary of the law (Knesset)

The Law establishes that every year, on 17 Kislev, a national day of appreciation will be held for the wounded of Israel's campaigns and victims of hostile actions. The day of appreciation will be marked, among other things, by holding a special discussion in the Knesset plenum, by holding an appreciation event for the wounded of Israel's campaigns organized by the Ministry of Defense, and by an appreciation event for victims of hostile actions organized by the National Insurance Institute. Both events will be held with the participation of the President of the State; the day will also be marked in the IDF, the Israel Police and the Prison Service. Educational and values-based activities will also be held in educational institutions, such as ceremonies and activities to encourage enlistment in the IDF, if the Minister of Education decides to do so, and in informal education frameworks and higher education institutions, to the extent they choose to do so. The Ministry of Heritage will produce content commemorating the heroism of the wounded and the victims, to be used in activities held on the day of appreciation. Responsibility for implementing the Law is given to the Minister of Defense with respect to the wounded of Israel's campaigns and to the Minister of Labor with respect to victims of hostile actions.
