IDF commando: It is the time of "Jacob’s trouble

Well-known
On the morning of October 7, the commander of IDF Unit 217, commonly referred to as ‘Duvdevan’ (Hebrew for ‘cherry’), was woken by his friend, the commanding officer for personnel in the Southern Command.
“Bring everything you’ve got,” he was told.
Duvdevan is a counter-terrorism unit famous for its undercover work among Arab populations. It is also one of the IDF’s top fighting forces.

But even the commandoes of Duvdevan were taken aback by what awaited them upon entering the hellscape of the Gaza periphery on that Black Shabbat.

In an interview this week with Channel 14 from his new command post in a captured house deep in the heart of Khan Yunis, Col. D. recalls arriving in Kfar Aza that morning and immediately being greeted by 40 heavily-armed Hamas terrorists. He and his men fought for three days to clear the area of Hamas forces, and then prepared for the inevitable invasion of Gaza.
