Oct 7 The war against Hamas through the eyes of an Israeli commando officer
Book - 2024
On the morning of October 7, 2023, Israelis awoke to hundreds of rockets being launched from Gaza into Israeli population centers. The security border between Gaza and Israel had also been breached by several thousand Hamas terrorists. Elkana Cohen, Captain of an Elite Commando Unit was called, along with thousands of other reservists, to prepare for war. In notebooks he found on the ground in the streets of Gaza, Cohen began writing a diary. Every day, he documented the sights of the war. From a first-person perspective, Cohen presents the feeling and story of the war from the eyes of the those who were there: the dust, the sweat, the brotherhood, the longing, and the awful smell of death and destruction. Cohen's writing describes his... relationships with his fellow comrades, the mass arrests of terrorists, the homes of Hamas members, the story of the fallen soldiers, and the hope to bring the hundreds of Israeli hostages home.
