The Medal of Valor (Hebrew: עיטור הגבורה,Hebrew pronunciation: [(ʔ)iˈtuʁ (h)agvuˈʁa] Itur HaGvura) is the highest Israeli military decoration.
Recipients of the medal receive several privileges such as a tax reduction and invitations to official state ceremonies.
The medal was designed by Dan Reisinger in the shape of a Star of David.
A sword and olive branch decorate the left side, while the reverse is plain.
Two time recipients of the medal attach a small medal-shaped clasp to the ribbon.
