This is from a tweet of Israeli-Arab journalist Yoseph Haddad with a GREAT story to tell!
Yesterday Channel 12 published an article about the heroism of Major Fawz Hussein on October 7. Here is his story.
The Bedouin tracker officer who is also a father of 3 children jumped specially from the north to the south that Saturday to fight there. He fought bravely and managed to eliminate many terrorists and even when he was hit by a bullet he continued to fight He ran out of ammunition and he took the wounded and soldiers he met along the way.
In the battle at Kibbutz Holit Fawz he was seriously wounded and he had already heard the terrorists planning to kidnap him. He had already put the barrel in his mouth so as not to give them the opportunity to kidnap him alive. And at that time he smiled. WHY?
That's how he Said: "Because the children will discover that their father is a hero. I did something great for the security of the State of Israel, for the people of Israel. That's what I was thinking about, because that's our job as soldiers in the army, that's what I was brought up to do - for the day of an order, for the day they need me, I will be, I was privileged to be. I will not give them the pleasure of kidnapping me, if they take me they will take me dead."
At the last minute the IDF force arrived there and managed to kill the terrorists and under the protection of the heavy fire to evacuate Fauz.
His war is not over and since then he has undergone a complex rehabilitation but Fauz is alive and he is strong and he is a hero and he is a symbol of partnership.
Wow, how proud I am of him, how proud everyone is of you Hero of Israel!
