The sun was setting over the barren desert landscape, casting a golden glow over the Sofa outpost. It was Saturday, 7/10/23, and the Nahal soldiers were gathered in the dining hall for their evening meal. Little did they know that dozens of terrorists dressed as IDF soldiers were about to launch a brutal attack on their base.

The commander of the Karakal Battalion, Lt. Col. Or Ben Yehuda, had just arrived at the base when she received word of the impending danger. She immediately rushed to the field, her mind racing with thoughts on how to protect her troops and stop the attackers.

As she approached the base, she could see chaos erupting all around her. The intelligence reports had been incomplete and now they were facing heavy fire from an enemy they couldn't even identify. Or quickly assessed the situation and knew that time was of essence if they wanted to save their base and their lives.

She gathered her forces - 12 soldiers and women - who were scattered around the base and together they fought back against every terrorist that came in their direction. But it soon became clear that simply defending wasn't enough. They needed to break into the fortified outpost in order to free their fellow soldiers trapped inside.

For hours, they battled fiercely against waves of terrorists who seemed determined to take over the outpost at any cost. Gunfire erupted from guard posts and behind pillboxes as both sides fought relentlessly for control.

Or's determination never wavered throughout this grueling battle. She led her troops with unwavering bravery and courage, always keeping an eye out for any signs of weakness or vulnerability among her team members. Her priority was not just protecting themselves but also saving those trapped inside by repelling hostile forces and clearing out all remaining terrorists from within.

It was a long and arduous fight that lasted 14 hours but thanks to Or's strategic thinking, unwavering determination, and the bravery of her troops, they finally emerged victorious. The base was secured, the terrorists had been eliminated, and the soldiers trapped inside were finally freed.

Or's leadership during this intense battle did not go unnoticed. She fought tirelessly to save the lives of her subordinates and those besieged in the outpost. Her unwavering trust in her team and their ability to protect each other proved to be crucial in defeating the attackers.

As night fell over the Sofa outpost, a somber mood settled among Or and her troops as they mourned for those lost but also celebrated their victory against all odds. It was a day that would forever be etched into their memories - a day when they fought bravely against an unknown enemy and emerged as heroes.
