I was privileged to be there with the force, deep inside Syria , alongside commanders and fighters of the General Staff patrol.
A third of the force was injured, and much thanks to Shahar, the commander of the operation in the field, we landed on Israeli soil without suffering any additional casualties."
Dichter added that "For many years there was an inscription on Barak's tombstone: 'Falled while performing his duty.'
