Dr. Yehuda Sabiner, a 34-year-old resident of Bnei Brak - specializing in pediatrics at Schneider Medical Center - is a combat doctor in the Commando Brigade, who was recruited from the first day of the war.
He has four children of his own, the youngest, two-year-old Diti, has Down syndrome.
Sabiner didn't know he was being added to the trend of videos about soldiers' exciting encounters with family members, but his video of him meeting his little daughter is already undoubtedly in the top ten.

In an interview he gave to Alexandra Lukash and Nir (Shoku) Cohen on Ynet Live, he said: "In the moments when I'm at home and I hear from my wife the warm embrace that the community in general and our community in particular, and also the family on both sides, surrounds them, then it's very heartwarming, because these are the moments in which friendships and family are measured. When this mission is over, the 'simple' life will take on a completely different meaning.
""Throughout the entire medical school process, I got used to being watched, so I think my senses were a little dulled. In any case, we are in very threatened areas, and in the end I have no one to trust, except for the name and the team I'm with. Fortunately, I'm with Brigade 11, and you can see without words that they are professionals, they know what they are doing. I am here to save and help our soldiers, but they are here to secure the mission, and they do it in an admirable way.".
To what extent does the presence of medical teams help soldiers?
""There are truly crazy forces here, both of fighters, of combat supporters, and of doctors, to do everything so that everyone who came to save the house will have the best chance of completing the mission properly and returning to their family and loved ones safely and in one piece.".
Meeting the family was very exciting.
""I haven't digested it yet, and it's a good thing. I've got long days ahead of me here, so I'm trying not to dig too deep, but it's a war with everything that implies, and we have each other to support and help in times of need, and good days will come, and there will still be joy here and smiles here, and life will continue, with God's help, to rejoice and prosper.".
