This is one of the first published documents from the October 7 battles. In the video, Sheiyetet 13 sea commando forces are seen fighting face-to-face against terrorists at the Sufa outpost, and the call echoes - "Sheiyetet, Sheiyetet! Stay in the bunker, we are coming!". 

The person behind the story is Captain A, a combat officer in the unit, who along with dozens of other combatants and after complex battles, together with Nahal and Karakal forces, retook control of the outpost from the Hamas "Nukhba" unit.

"When we got up in the morning and opened our phones, we immediately understood - this is war," describes Capt. A., "with the understanding that we are moving towards a task of a magnitude that we have not known until now."

YOU COULD CUT THE TENSION WITH A KNIFE"

They continue to prepare, with the destination still unknown, and in the meantime two helicopters land to fly them to the south. "We board one after the other, and take off. As soon as we crossed the Tel Aviv line - we discovered a black region, full of smoke mushrooms and rockets in the air," recalls Captain A.

They get off the helicopter at a distance of 2 km from the Sufa outpost, and run quickly in its direction. At the entrance to the gate stands Karkal, Lt. Col. Or Ben Yehuda, who updates them on the assessment of the situation: dozens of terrorists have infiltrated the compound and are conducting battles with our forces. The Sheiyetet goes into action, And Capt. A is the first to go in. They move towards the dining room, inside which soldiers were trapped.

THE SIGHTS INSIDE ARE HARSH, WITH A SMELL I WILL NEVER FORGET. BUT THERE IS NO TIME TO THINK - YOU HAVE TO MOVE FROM TASK TO TASK"

The road to the destination is complex and dangerous - terrorists run from corner to corner, dressed in black, wearing Hamas ribbons, wearing flip-flops and holding AK-47s. "My team and I understand that we are entering a 'head-to-head' fight against them," he says, "We were especially sharp - alert to every movement, looking away from any noise and ready for action."

They move between buildings, securing them one by one and making their way towards the dining room: "When we arrived the door was locked, we broke it open and threw a stun grenade inside. One that does no damage, but makes a loud noise - to understand if there are terrorists or our people inside."

They hear shouts, and Capt. A shouts "Sheiyetet, Sheiyetet!", the reactions are vague, and it is not clear whether the person standing on the other side of the door is a friend or an enemy. "'Say Shema Israel,' (The most well-known prayer in Hebrew) I shout to them - and suddenly soldiers answer me," he describes the dramatic moments, "I'm not sure why I thought of this sentence in particular. It came to me instinctively, as if the Jewish soul was speaking from within me, directing me."

But the soldiers inside are suspicious for an obvious reason: "They interrogate us, and only after we identify ourselves do they let us in. The sights inside are harsh, with a smell I will never forget. But there is no time to think - you have to move from mission to mission." The Sheiyetet's fighters provide aid to the wounded, and try to get information about the terrorists, who are still lurking in the area.

I PULL OUT THE GRENADE PIN, BREAK THE WINDOW OF THE ROOM AND THROW IT INSIDE. THE EXPLOSION KILLS THE TERRORIST"

According to the picture of the situation they built, they advance to the office where a terrorist is entrenched, and conduct a long and difficult battle with him. 

"He fires bunches, and we move back. I try to think what can be done differently," he testifies, "I take out a grenade with one hand, and with the other I signal to the fighters with me to stop shooting on my count - "1,2,3", I pull out the pin, break the window of the room and throws it in, the explosion kills the terrorist."

From there, the mask of battles continues, which only ends on Saturday night. Terrorists infiltrate the outpost, the forces fight - until finally it is secured. 

But they remain in the sector until October 9, to protect it. "We were completely disconnected from everything that happened outside," says Captain A. "I was sure that only we had a battle like this, only later did we realize that it was the whole region."

The battles claimed the lives of 8 fighters from the Nahal Brigade. The footage was recorded on the go-pro camera of one of the unit's fighters - and became one of the most memorable videos from the fighting that day: "This is the first time people have seen footage from the battles, which conveyed, even if to a small extent, what happened there ".

"You can't really prepare for something like this," shares Captain A. "In the end, a fighter is built like a triangle - the right side is his training and training, the left side is the weapon he possesses, but the basis is the spirit, the person and the values ​​that drive him. That's all there is to it."
