Many heroes are currently being hospitalized across the country. One of them is Sergeant Major (res.) Ofer Bachar, a combat engineer who was seriously wounded about two weeks ago and arrived at Ichilov Hospital by helicopter.

Behar, who was on vacation in Thailand on October 7, heard about the horrific massacre like everyone else and immediately decided to buy a return plane ticket. "I couldn't stay abroad for a moment. A few days later, we were already among the first forces to enter the Gaza Strip."

Bakr, who was severely wounded by a blast wound and shrapnel that penetrated the pelvis, described the moment of the incident: "Our force was in a building in the northern Gaza Strip and late at night an Arfiji missile was fired at us that penetrated the door. The soldier who was next to me was killed on the spot before my eyes and others were wounded. Within two hours, I was already at the hospital."
