"We have seen tremendous fellowship and courage. People need to know this story"
A few hours after Yom Kippur, Etzioni's 9220 Battalion went on an important mission in southern Lebanon, and was caught in a massive ambush by Hezbollah. The silence of the night was broken, and for many hours a fierce battle took place against the terrorists.
It's rare to have second chances in war, but from a conversation with Aviv, Jonathan and Oded, we understood how an entire battalion does not give up - until it finishes the mission.
"People need to know this story, to know what our fighters went through there", this is the only request of Aviv, Jonathan and Oded, just after they finish telling me about that night about a month ago in southern Lebanon, "It was a heroic battle, no less".
