Within the spectrum of terror organizations, Hamas emerges as a striking example of cowardice, failing to meet even the most rudimentary benchmarks of valor and fortitude:
A battle area like this includes several streets whose occupation could last for many days. Clearing a single building, with 24 apartments, requires an entire platoon. A few days ago, when the fighters burst into one of the apartments,
they encountered a terrorist hiding behind his mother and sister, firing over their heads. Such situations are not uncommon, the commanders recount.
"Every building like this is a combat zone," says the commander of the commando unit. "There is no house where we have not found ammunition. There is no house where enemy operatives have not been. There were face-to-face battles here while an uninvolved population was in the middle of the room. Terrorists don't care that it's their family. There are also many undercover operatives here, including those who participated in the October 7 massacre."
In the window of the room we are in now, facing the wave of rubble that until two days ago was a residential building, two soldiers from the reconnaissance unit are holding position and scanning the outside. "We've been in Gaza for four and a half months," says Avichay from Kiryat Yam. "I lost two team members last month, Neria Belta and Ido Zrihan, may their memory be blessed, and I am ready to fight until the last drop of blood to perpetuate them and so that their families know that they did not fall in vain.
