Bestseller in IsraelA gripping, unprecedented account of the battles on October 7 and beyond, as never told before."The Rescue is a story of bravery and inner strength that will captivate your heart, soul, and mind from the first page, leaving an indelible mark even long after you've finished reading." -Elyezer Shkedy, Former Commander in Chief of the Israeli Air Force On the morning of October 7, as news began to emerge about the scale of the attack, Guy found himself in the first vehicle leaving unit 669's base, heading toward the invaded communities. He and his team combated terrorists on the roads of the Gaza envelope, encountered scenes of horror at the Nova Festival site, rescued wounded civilians under heavy fire in Kfar Azza and Be'eri, and fought in the ongoing battles in the Gaza Strip. The soldiers of the combat rescue unit, one of the four elite units of the IDF, are highly trained to act and respond in every scenario, even those that are beyond imagination. However, since the attack on Israel began, and throughout the war, the unit's squads, operating in helicopters and special vehicles, have been compelled to confront their deepest fears amid relentless fire, massive casualties, and unfathomable dilemmas. This is the first narrative of its kind, told by those who stepped forward without hesitation: childhood friends who awoke to a terrorist attack and fought against all odds; troops who stormed in to liberate communities occupied by Hamas; reservists who decided to head south on their own, saving countless lives; and commanders who refused to leave their soldiers on the battlefield, even after being wounded. The Rescue takes the reader on an extraordinary journey into combat-from fear and heroism to pain and hope-and offers an unfiltered look at the stories of the battle, as they have never been told before.
