Major Lior Torhansky is the mental health officer of the Southern Command. She was at her home in Shadi Avraham in the Shalom region, not far from the border of the Gaza Strip.

The terror and anxiety that the terrorists were on her doorstep did not let her down. "At one point I asked myself: 'Am I really messing with my reservists when I'm going to die?' On the other hand, it's something that has kept me really well," she admits.
