Celebrity bodyguard Oded Krashinsky has returned to Israel to train with the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) in the wake of attacks that resulted in the loss of over 1,300 Israeli lives.
Krashinsky, known for safeguarding celebrities like Nicole Kidman over the past three decades, departed from Los Angeles to contribute to the IDF, aiming to provide leadership amidst the challenges, as stated by the New York Post.
"I came here to help my unit. The morale is tense," stated the President and Founder at Advanced Security Concepts in an interview with the outlet.
"The main threat is invasion — we have to deflect it, fight it, and protect against it," he further remarked.
“I am who I am because I came from here,” Krashinsky continued. “At the end of the day, it’s about experience, decision-making, tactics, and leadership — that’s what I felt I could bring and that’s what I do now.”
Krashinsky, who once served as a lieutenant in an IDF secret service special operations unit and is a father of two, mentioned they need to be ready for what he described as "determined" combatants.
