October 7th

I want to start with what is a tribute to the female soldiers of the IDF. This completely female tank group are credited with killing 100 Hamas terrorists on October 7th. The interview goes a long way to explaining how and why the IDF were overwhelmed that day as thousands of terrorists broke through the fence. As each guard post was attacked and pinned down they were unable to get to the villages to protect the civilians.

I am personally not in favour of female frontline troops, but that question is addressed as well. The interviewee made me smile when she says that the terrorists that got up close looked terrified realising that if they were killed by a woman they would not get their 72 virgins in paradise!

The true horror of what the Hamas fighters did that day in beyond human, simply barbaric. It is that which drives the soldiers of the IDF to finish the job. She speaks of long term deployment, which suggests that Israel will now occupy Gaza for some time to come.
