An Israeli Defense youth group of 40 boys and girls who participated in the four-day marching event in Holland last week, left here today after a ten-day visit during which they earned an outstanding reputation for their skill and endurance during the competition.
After the march, the Israelis toured the Netherlands and were the guests of the Amsterdam municipality and of the Jewish communities here and in Rotterdam. They were also guests yesterday at a reception given by Israel Ambassador Hanan Cidor. Representatives of the Dutch Army and leaders of the Jewish community here were at Schiphol Airport today to bid the group farewell.
