Established in 1967. Awarded to Israeli citizens who fought against the Nazis in one of the Allies armed forces, as a partisan, or as an underground movement member. Among others, this has been awarded to veterans of the Soviet armed forces for service in the Great Patriotic War who have emigrated to Israel in recent decades.
The document's cover reads:
STATE OF ISRAEL
MINISTRY OF DEFENCE
This ribbon is special – it is the only Israeli ribbon that has been converted to a medal. No other ribbon in the IDF or state of Israel has a medal also, except the three decorations of the IDF, and the police decorations.
If someone got a group of a Jewish veteran, it is not complete without this medal.
BTW, the medal is very hard to get, and not available in stores, only the MOD issued those. But the ribbon is R2 or so, and could be easily obtained. Remember that many veterans awarded with the ribbon only, since the medal was introduced in 2000, and the ribbon in 1967.

Under the banner of Marxism-Leninism, under the leadership of the Communist Party--forward to new victories in the construction of communism!
