In the battle on December 12, 2023, four fighters from a combined Golani force, from the 53rd Battalion and from the Combat Engineering Corps, were ambushed by terrorists in the Shujaiya neighborhood in the northern Gaza Strip. There was concern that one of the officers had been kidnapped into a tunnel shaft, and all the battalion commanders in the neighboring sectors rushed to the scene and began a battle to rescue the wounded. After two and a half hours of fierce battle, under pouring rain and incessant fire, nine officers and soldiers, including Lt. Col. Greenberg, fell. May his memory be blessed

Approximately 12 terrorists entered the house. Mickey took cover behind a concrete wall at the entrance to the protected room, displaying remarkable composure as he engaged in combat with them. For about an hour and a half, he responded by shooting from his position behind the wall every time they shot in his direction, eliminating all the terrorists who approached the protected room. Finally, the terrorists hurled a stun grenade, forcing him to enter the protected room, where he clung tightly to the door handle to prevent them from breaking in. During this time, the terrorists tried to negotiate with him to convince the family to leave the protected room. He responded that his family would come out of the room only if the terrorists laid down their weapons. But the moment the terrorists opened the door, Mickey fired a volley of bullets and killed the terrorist at the entrance. The remaining terrorists fled. The rescue teams arrived after midnight. The entire family, the three in the house as well as a daughter who was in another residence, emerged unharmed from the ordeal.

The fighters went into action immediately. Within 60 seconds they were at their posts, and they repelled dozens of terrorists, who had arrived from the Erez Crossing with 8 motorcycles, from continuing northward. With the help of YAMAM (National Counter Terror Unit) fighters, they foiled the attack, well-armed though the terrorists were.

Thus, the fighters of the Israel Police, from both the YAMAM and the Border Police, prevented disaster at Kibbutz Yad Mordechai and halted the advance of terrorists toward the city of Ashkelon.

Once Buskila’s force had broken through on its way to the Gaza Division’s headquarters, the base itself came under attack. Some 40 terrorists made their way in. The terrorists were armed with rifles, RPGs, knives, and grenades. They were prepared to blockade themselves and battle inside a large office area like the divisional headquarters. The Israeli force, aided by a helicopter, managed to fend off many terrorists but others had begun to hide inside the building.
This was the beginning of the battle’s third phase: fighting from room to room, inside the post, to clear it of terrorists. Combat officers fought alongside desk officers, senior officers alongside footsoldiers, until the post was safe inside and all the terrorists there were dead. The battle lasted five or six hours because the terrorists had hidden well, in concealed corners and under camouflage nets.

Lt. Col. Buskila led the fighting coolheadedly, including the intricate coordination of helicopter fire, and he succeeded in repelling the terrorists, clearing the base, and preventing it from falling into the hands of Hamas. According to Buskila: “The fighting spirit, the battle readiness, the rapid enlistment of the reserves, and the turning of the tide of battle all worked exceptionally well.”

Lieutenant Colonel Salman Habka himself left his home in Yanuh Jat in the morning of the attack and joined the Paratrooper Corps force that was fighting in Kibbutz Be’eri along with two of his unit’s tanks. With joint forces they scoured house after house in the kibbutz, eliminating the terrorists. Habka’s decision to divide his tank force among several theaters proved to be not only courageous but  also lifesaving, and his soldiers were material to the fighting in the kibbutzim and the Erez checkpoint.

At a later point in the fighting, Lieutenant Colonel Salman Habka joined the forces entering  the Gaza Strip and was killed on the night of November 2 during the fighting in the north of the Strip. He is survived by a wife and a two-year-old son. May he rest in peace.

At 6:25 on Saturday morning, even before the sirens went off in Kibbutz Erez (the only siren

heard was in Kibbutz Native Ha’asarak, a mile away) – Sagit Levi Gelfarb, head of the kibbutz

security team – instructed all members of the kibbutz to lock themselves in their home

safety room until further notice. At the same time she ran to open the command room,

already hearing the shouts of the terrorists outside the kibbutz. These two resourceful

decisions allowed the kibbutz security team to intercept the terrorist squad minutes away

from invading the kibbutz and save untold lives . The eight-member team valiantly fought

some 30 terrorists. Once in the command center, she attempted to call the military and

rescue forces for aid, but to no avail. Two young men arrived at the command center,

having come to their morning shift at the kibbutz café and were caught in the battle. Sagit

led them under fire to the safety room in her own house. Wounded members of the kibbutz

and the security team began arriving at the command center. After long hours, by 11 o’clock

most of the terrorists were eliminated or driven away from the kibbutz. Thanks to Levi

Lieutenant Colonel M., commander of the Gaza Division Tracker Unit in Reim, woke up with

the rocket barrage from Gaza on Saturday morning. The moment he learned that terrorist

made their way into Israel, he aimed to go to the scene with his soldiers, however, car loads

of survivors from the nearby Nova festival massacre began arriving at the base and he

realized that the situation is far graver then he thought. He and his soldiers wanted to head

out to the party area but then noticed truckloads of terrorists speeding towards the base. He

turned his force around and went back to face the terrorists, whom they fought for almost

an hour, and were able to repel them. However, the terrorists began surrounding the base

and some were able to breach the parameter fence.

Lieutenant Colonel M. and several of his soldiers spread out around the premises. He was

able to eliminate one of the terrorists, and then – with daredevil resourcefulness – realized

he could dupe them. He began speaking Arabic to one of his soldiers. Upon hearing this, the

terrorist mistook him for one of them, as they were also wearing IDF uniforms, and called

him over. He responded in Arabic, calling them to come to him and when they approached –

shot and killed them. The battle lasted for hours, later with the help of backup forces. At six

in the evening – the base had been cleansed of all terrorists.

duty – they put on their uniforms and made their way to the fighting in Kibbutz Alumim,

taking with them firearms and first aid equipment. They reached the battle arena at around

nine o’clock in the morning and engaged with the terrorist in the proximity of the kibbutz

fence. The mobile location tracking of their phones shows the two had entered and exited

the kibbutz – it remains unclear whether they were evacuating the wounded or fighting the

terrorists. Both were killed that day, in the same battle. Yishay Slotki was posthumously

rank of Sergent Major. May they rest in peace.

Neta Epstein, 22, from Kibbutz Kfar Aza, lived with his partner Irine Shavit in a housing unit

in the kibbutz’s young neighborhood. When the rocket barrage began on Saturday morning,

they hurried into their safe room. But soon, terrorists broke into the Kibbutz and several of

them broke into the house through the window. They opened the safety room door and

called on the couple to come out, lobbing grenades into the room which didn’t hurt the two.

However, when the third grenade came rolling into the room, Neta threw himself on it to

save Irine and the terrorist shot him and immediately threw a fourth grenade into the room,

which started a fire. Irine was able to put out the fire and then hid under the bed behind the

body of her partner for long hours until she was rescued by the IDF forces at four o’clock. At

Sujit Prainkareh, 39 from Sri Lanka, was a policeman for 17 years in his country before he

When the rocket barrage began on Saturday morning he ran to the public shelter at the

beach, in which 10 civilians had also taken shelter. When terrorists arrived, they lobbed a

grenade into the shelter, and Sujit grabbed it and threw it back. The terrorists entered and

began spraying the shelter with bullets. Sujit was hit and fell to the ground with others

falling on top of him. He lost consciousness. All of the people in the shelter were killed aside

from Sujit and one other person.

When he regained consciousness, he realized that the only other survivor is no longer in the

shelter. He managed to crawl back to his dorm room, and bandage his wounds with a shirt.

Only at 13:30 he was evacuated by army forces and taken to the hospital. Since Sujit arrived

in Israel without a work permit, the State will not recognize him as an official victim of terror

and he is not receiving the medical care he needs– when he came to the hospital for follow

up treatment, he was refused on the grounds that he has no medical insurance. Four days

subordinates not to take that route and opt for alternative roads, most probably saving lives

by doing so. On the way she picked up two fighters from her battalion, and despite the

heavy fire overhead they reached the gate of the base, where they encountered heavy

small-arms and RPG firing, and were attacked with IEDs. The small force under Lieutenant

Colonel Yarden Shukrun’s command engaged with the terrorist and eliminated four of them,

proceeding to protect the base. Later that day, she arrived at the city of Ofakim with her

soldiers and began cleansing the city of the terrorists. Currently, most of the battalion is

Captain Bar Zonstein was posted at the small “Mars” outpost on the Gaza border, along with

the Golani auxiliary infantry force, Battalion 51. Around 6:30 the morning on Saturday

October 7, his commander informed him that there was an enemy raid near Kibbutz Nirim,

and he set out to the area with his tank and crew. This was the last time he heard from his

commander, and from that point on, he was left to act independently, drawing information

on the situation in the field from intermittent reports. He advanced with his tank alone,

through the crop fields, and encountered a three-man terrorist squad, eliminating them with

the tank machine gun. Further on, he encountered two terrorist squads, shote several and

ran the others over. He then receives reports of the battle at the Kisufim outpost, makes his

way there, and encounters two terrorist squads with anti-tank weapons, both of which he

eliminates.

He receives a report from one of his company’s tanks, which was protecting the kibbutzim of

Nirim, Nir Oz and Magen, that the tank was hit and surrounded by terrorists. The soldiers

inside that tank were wounded and the tank couldn’t rotate its turret. He liaised with the

damaged tank and ordered it to follow him. On the way he identifies the tank of one of his

platoon commanders, burnt. He identifies two terrorist pickup trucks full of bodies speeding

towards Gaza. He fires at them twice and gets hit by two anti-tank grenades fired at him,

hitting and damaging his solar tank. His tank began leaking solar and hundreds of terrorists

surrounded it. He began shooting them with the machine gun and running them over with

the tank.

Both tanks – one with wounded soldiers and a disabled turret, and the other with leaking

solar tanks – made their way to kibbutz Magen where they encountered and eliminated a

four-men terrorist squad. Near Kibbutz Reim they decide to exit the defunct tank and return

to the Mars outpost, to collect an additional tank. Captain Zonstein got a ride with one of his

soldiers in the trunk of a Border Police car and they got off at the Kisufim intersection, where

they made their way through terrorist infested terrain to the outpost, fighting terrorists the

entire way. They eventually commandeered the tank and used it to continue fighting

terrorists until Monday. Captain Zonstein and his soldiers managed to kill approximately 70-

90 terrorist within two and a half days of fighting.
