Since October 7th, Jonathan has served in the North defending the country and has been in Gaza several times. Jonathan started playing football in Israel after he left the military in 2010. He first played for a Tel Aviv team and now plays for the Ramat HaSharon Hammers. He played with the national flag football team in Israel’s first-ever international competition in Spain in 2014 and then again in 2023 in Ireland where Team Israel took 3rd place.
