Brothers and Sisters in Arms (Hebrew: אחים ואחיות לנשק), also known as Achim Laneshek and Brothers in Arms (Hebrew: אחים לנשק), is an organization of reserve men and women from various units of the IDF, operating within the protest movement against the judicial reforms promoted by the thirty-seventh government of Israel headed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
On October 7, 2023, the day Hamas invaded southern Israel, the organization suspended all political and protest activities and began devoting itself full-time to aid and relief under the name Brothers and Sisters for Israel.
In mid-2024, the organization resumed its protest activities across the country, calling for new elections and the conscription of ultra-orthodox men, currently exempt from military service in the IDF.
In June 2024, the Brothers and Sisters in Arms received The Presidential Award for Volunteerism (formerly the “Presidential Award for Volunteers”) from the President of the State of Israel, Isaac Herzog.
