The hero of Nir: “We encountered terrorists and killed them, I emptied a cartridge”
From the morning hours, terrorists infiltrated Kibbutz Nirim in the Gaza Strip and the residents hid in shelters. Those who bravely fought the terrorists were the members of the alert squad along with a policeman on leave who was present at the scene. Michael Bass of the alert squad, who was part of the first squad that eliminated terrorists who infiltrated the Nirim, told Mako. Terrorists arrived at the kibbutz fence, we waited for the troops to arrive and then we attacked them under fire”

Mali Shoshana killed at least four terrorists from the roof of the station in a battle that lasted for many hours, while her friends were killed before her eyes. She threw the terrorists’ grenade back at them, and when they managed to get in - she pretended to be dead and survived. “We asked in connection: save us”

As the shelling began at the beginning of the fighting, the kibbutz corporal, Inbal Lieberman, 25, heard noises in the area - different from the noises of the barrages that the kibbutz is used to absorbing. With unimaginable resourcefulness, she decided to be true to her gut feeling, opened her weapons and set up a standby squad - which eliminated 25 terrorists for hours of battle.

The escape from the massacre - and the photograph under fire: “I said if we die at least they will see that we loved to the end”
Amit and her partner Nir hid behind a bush - while Hamas terrorists were shooting in all directions at the “Nova” nature party • A few minutes before, their friend Ziv helped other people escape from the scene • From that moment, he no longer returned - and so far it is not known what happened to him • “He said he knew the area - and disappeared. Where is the army? We are frustrated,” she told N12 • The difficult reconstruction, and the story behind the photo.

Brigadier-General Dan Goldfus sums up the fighting so far: ‘The enemy is super-cruel, they murdered men, took women and children into captivity.’

Commander of the Paratroopers Division and elite commando unit 98, Brigadier-General Dan Goldfus, who led his soldiers during the initial battles of the war, on Tuesday morning spoke about the three days of battle thus far.

On Saturday morning an estimated 1,500 Hamas terrorists infiltrated Israel via land, air, and sea, masacring Israeli civilians and taking others hostage.

“This morning, the fourth morning of fighting, we succeded in returning the situation in the Gaza border region to its previous condition - relatively speaking,” Goldfus said. “There are still isolated clashes with the enemy. We are working to return the towns to their usual state. It will take time.”

He noted that it is difficult to say for certainty that there are no terrorists in the Israeli communities around Gaza: “I say in the most realistic way: There was a terrorist who got into a closet in a home and waited. We are doing a lot of searches and cleansing the area, but I will not fly off my chair if there is contact with a cell which hid under a home.”

“DIvision 98 was relevant with all its abilities, providing immediate responses from the first moment. We are talking about hundrds of terrorists, dozens of infilatration sites, difficult sights, murder of civilians, homes and command rooms which were burned together with their occupants. This is a super-cruel enemy, they murdered men, took women and children into captivity.
