Following the miraculous hostage rescue in Rafah over a month ago (as detailed in last week's email), a few of the officers who took part in the mission shared their experiences during an impactful media interview:

“Was the risk worth the rescue of two people?” the reporter asked. Commander D doesn't think for long and answers: "We don't look at in terms of a person being worth the life of another, and if two soldiers die the operation is a failure. It's not a zero-sum game. There is something here that's far bigger in its substance. I won't say that we in the unit are worth less, but we've taken on ourselves the understanding that we're ready to be harmed for something bigger than a single person, that's who we are."
