I choose Eitan as my hero because on october 7th he was kidnapped to gaza by gunpoint alone and was held hostage in solitary for 2 weeks with no interactions with anyone, 2 weeks without seeing anybody you know in  a hostile place away from your home. He knew nothing of what happened to his family or to his friends until he was united with his kibbutz caretaker for the rest of his captivity. he was released in the first ceasefire at the age of 12.

I chose the late Major General Adi Eldor, because I thought it was important to share his story. Adi was a hero who sacrificed his life for his people and country. He was a fighter in the Magellan (Commando) unit of the idf who fell near the southern Gaza Strip. He was 21 years old when he died. According to his parents and relatives he was: ‘a hero, a child of giving and love who was a role model for his brothers’.

One of the Mada workers who helped in that horrible day, the 7th of October.

This for example is a senior paramedic who woke up in the morning seeing his friends write to him that they hear the red alarm but he said to the it must be a false one like they always have, and he get to his shift. there they hear that they were emergencies calls about shot people and they call for back up from other people who wasn't on the shift, everyone for there as fast as they could and they drive to the location. on the way Malek heard that there may be terrorists in the red he was in but he kept driving meeting military cars on the way and getting injured people in, trying to save everyone and evacuate as quickly as possible. He calmed people down and saved people in critical conditions. If it wasn't for guys like him we would have lost many other people that day. because of that I chose him to be my hero, they didn't give up and didn't got scared and worked for days without a rest to save civilians.

I chose Sagit Levi as my hero.

Sagit Levi is a resident in kibutz Erez which is located in the Gaza strip area. On the morning of october seventh Sagit heard the sirens from the kibutz near her and even though it was a regular thing in the Gaza Strip area something felt different this time. Sagit decided to start the "command room" instructing all of the kibutz members how to act and helping the deffense forces to locate and save civilians that are in stress. thanks to her resourcefuness Sagit was able to save many civilians and helped the army on its mission.

I think her act was heroic and amazing because she was able to save tons of people from only a huntch and later on she did not collapse under the pressure and never gave up on saving people even when her own life were in risk.

Sergeant Idan Raz, 20 years old from Ein Hamfaretz, was exempted from service at all because of an allergy to bees. The army had already agreed to recruit him, but not as a fighter, and Idan announced: "'If I'm not a fighter, I'm not enlisting.'" He struggled, took on treatment with injections at the Ichilov Hospital - and managed to fulfill his dream of becoming a fighter in the Golani and even an outstanding brigade. On Black Sabbath he was at the Pega outpost, near Bari. When hundreds of terrorists arrived at the outpost, he and his friends fought a long and stubborn battle - during which he fell.

And this is why I chose him.

Ido Somech is a 19-year-old tank driver, that was positioned near Gaza with his team.

On October 7th, Ido and his team moved to the area where the terrorists broke through the fence. There the tank got hit and only Ido remained unhurt. He drove alone towards Re’im, without knowing what happened there. At one point, while fighting terrorists, the tank stopped moving and so Ido had to abandon it. Although deserted, the tank became a fugitive shelter for the people from the Nova Party, protected by a group of armed men.

I think that although Ido didn’t directly save the fugitives from the Nova Party, it is safe to say that they survived thanks to him and his brave decision to keep moving forward.

Those 13 heroes are Bedouin civilians, and they all saved multiple lives in different ways:

Most of their actions were rescuing civilians from the Nova and Kibbutz Be'eri, treating the injured, and escorting them to safety.

One of them went to visit his brothers who worked in Sderot when the attack began, and he heard the screams and cries of a woman whose husband was shot and killed by the terrorists. She had with her her two daughters, aged 3 and 6. He then tried saving the three, successfully saving the daughters and escorting them to the police station. Unfortunately, he and the woman were killed next to the station, but both of the daughters survived. He is the only one who was killed in his heroic action.

After 10.7, those 13 Bedouin heroes received a honor decoration for saving many many lives.

Their actions requires a lot of bravery, and they risked their lives to save other and I think that's admirable.

Tali Hadad is a mother of six from Ofakim. On October 7, her son, Itamar, a combat soldier who spent the weekend home, grabbed his weapon and went out to the street to fight the terrorists. He got wounded, and Tali picked him up in her car and drove him and other injured people to the MDA station at the entrance of Ofakim. Even though her son was severely wounded, his mom encouraged him to stay conscious and explained that he would have to wait for her at the hospital because she had to help others. And so she did. After helping 13 people to get to the first medical care service, she eventually got to the Ichilov Hospital in Tel-Aviv to see Itamar.

I'm in awe of Tali Hadad's unselfishness, which allows her to see the good of the people before her own or her loved ones.

I chose Idan Amedi as my hero. Idan is a talented artist who write and sing songs, I chose him because of the solidarity he showed since the beginning of the war and all the effort he put to keep the people united during the crisis. Although he could have given up enlisting in the reserves, he chose to risk his life and volunteer for the homeland. during the reserves he got injured and had to stop his service. The thing that I most admire in Idan is how humble he is, after all his effort during the war he became a very beloved person in Isreal and he was invited to light a beacon, because of his modesty he rejected the offer and said he would stay home this year and he’d unite with the memory of the fallen.

The story of Eden Nimri RIP,

she was a team commander in an elite unit, she was killed while she covered on other soldiers.

The one who told everyone her story is Edens partner.

Eden and some girls went to a migunit and got insid, but Eden realized that the terrorists will come from the entrance so she went to stand in the far, unprotected corner, where the entrance was. She prepered her weapon and told the other girls that had a weapon to do it to.

When the first terorist came they shot him and he died. But when the second one came he threw a few grenades, Eden started to have a shooting fight with him, by the help of Edens fight, the other girls managed to escape and go hide in a room until help came.

Eden dien in the fight with the terorist and sacrified herself for her friends.

I think that what eden did was really brave and that not everyone would have done it if they were in this situation.

I chose Idan Amedi as my hero.

Idan Amedi is a vary famous singer and actor in Israel.

In the 7th of October Idan got called form the army.

Idan always made sure that all the civilians in Israel are safe, optimistic, and staying positive, although he was focused in fighting he never stop caring for the civilians.

People love and appreciate him, and he has a big affect on social media, so people tend to listen to him, and he always used this for the better.

Idan fought in Gaza and unfortunately got hurt very hard.

After his injury, he’s been asked to lighting a beacon, but turned this offer down, he said that he is not different form any other soldiers that fought in this war so in his opinion he doesn’t deserve it.

I think it’s shows how humble he is.

To sum up, Idan exposed a different side of him, a great side, in this war.

And I think he is definitely a hero, and he deserves all the praises in the world.

Mali Shoshana is a police officer who has fought in Shderot's police station when the terrorists attacked it in the seventh of October.

She killed four terrorists, and when she run out of ammo she played dead until Yamam forces rescued her.

I think that her act was heroic and barve because pretending dead when Hamas terrorists are walking near you must be scary and terrifying.

Ben Binyamin Shimoni spent time at the nature party in Re'im on October 7. He managed to get out of the line of fire, rescuing people with him in his vehicle. But his story does not end here, Shimoni returned three times to the slaughter area to try to save more people, and he did so, but the third time, on his way back, he was murdered in his car.

In my opinion, Ben Binyamin Shimoni was a true hero to remember through his amazing act of heroism where he sacrifices his own life in order to save other lives.

During a Hezbollah ambush, a grenade was thrown over the wall that was between Hezbollah militants and Klein and his unit. Klein jumped on the live grenade and muffled the explosion with his body to save his soldiers lives.

On July 26, 2006, Major Roi Klein fell in a battle in Bint Jbeil in southern Lebanon. Ro’i left behind a wife, two sons, two parents and two sisters.

I chose Roi story because it is unfortunately great example of leadership and courage of a person that sacrificed his life to save his soldiers.

I’m sure he was scared, but at the same time he’s actions were fearless.

I chose Dafna Elyakim as my hero. Dafna was kidnapped to Gaza on October 7th and was being held there for 51 days. Her little sister Ella was kidnapped with her and Dafna spent all of her time taking care of her. I think it’s amazing that during this time she was in danger herself, she could still take care of her family and that’s why I picked her as my hero.

Rachel Edri is a 65 year old woman who lives in Ofakim. On October 7th terrorists broke into her home, and instead of running away or hiding she offered them cookies. She stalled them with cookies and tea untill the security forces arrived and rescued her and her husband. In my opinion Rachel's act was very brave and shows that keeping calm instead of panicking can save your life and even others.
