"This is the IDF, this is the IDF", in these calming cries, the fighters of the Oketz unit reached the civilians hiding in the surrounding communities and rescued them from the inferno, working together with the elite cruisers, shoulder to shoulder with Sayeret Matkal and Shaldag fighters.
After joining all the forces in the field and in light of the operational need, it was decided in Oketz to establish 3 independent combat companies that would take an additional part in the fighting effort in the communities near the Gaza Strip. In Kibbutz Be'eri, the fighters eliminated terrorists who had barricaded themselves in houses and on the kibbutz roads, rescued hostages and saved lives under fire.
In another activity in Kibbutz Kfar Azza, the dog Naru was sent to locate terrorists and weapons. While waiting for an organized ambush of terrorists for sting fighters, Naru revealed their location and attacked them. Subsequently, the unit's fighters eliminated the terrorist squad. The dog Naru was killed during the encounter and after hours of fighting, Oketz fighters and Shayetet 13 rescued his body and brought Naru to the unit for burial.
Commander of the Oketz unit for his fighters: "The next stage, to enter the Gaza Strip. The mission - to kill all the terrorists who will be in front of us on the ground; We're right, we're strong, we're cohesive, and we're going to win."
During the fighting, Oketz fighters eliminated more than ten terrorists affiliated with the Hamas terrorist organization and rescued more than 200 civilians alive. In addition, during the activity a senior terrorist in Hamas' underground system was detained after an attack dog named Charlie exposed his location in an open area and attacked him.
