Captain Eliel Malka, a distinguished leader, found himself at the helm of a crucial mission in the northern region of the country when the flames of war erupted on 7/10/2023. Swiftly responding to the call of duty, his forces converged at Kibbutz Kfar Gaza, committed to the perilous task of rescuing besieged citizens.


As night fell and bled into the early hours of the day, Captain Malka's unit embarked on a relentless mission, entering approximately 400 houses to liberate trapped residents. The exhaustion from two consecutive sleepless nights weighed heavily on their shoulders, yet the indomitable spirit of the soldiers drove them forward.


However, fate took an ominous turn when, in the confines of the fifth house they entered, a chilling confrontation unfolded. A terrorist squad had entrenched themselves within, unleashing a barrage of gunfire and grenades upon the valiant soldiers. The situation escalated rapidly, and amidst the chaos, Captain Malka sustained severe injuries.


Undeterred by his wounds, Captain Malka demonstrated unparalleled courage, remaining on the battlefield even as he lay injured on the ground. His indescribable determination fueled a fierce counterattack against the terrorist cell.

In a pivotal moment, the Israeli Defense Forces executed a strategic maneuver, collapsing the very structure that shielded the terrorist cell. The thunderous roar of the collapsing building marked the end of the harrowing standoff. The IDF forces emerged victorious, having successfully neutralized the terrorist threat and rescued the residents trapped within the besieged house.


Captain Eliel Malka, a hero forged in the crucible of battle, exemplified unparalleled bravery and leadership. His sacrifice and unwavering commitment to the mission stood as a testament to the resilience of those who defend their nation in the face of adversity.
