The company commander of a Golani Brigade unit that fought in the October 7 attack near the Gaza border has published a book recounting the day's events from his own perspective while weaving in testimony from his soldiers, he told journalist Ido Tauber. The commander said the book serves as a testament for the eight soldiers under his command who were killed that day.
A Golani Brigade company commander who fought on October 7, 2023, in the Gaza periphery has written a book recounting the battalion's experiences during the Hamas-led assault. The officer — whose unit saw heavy combat and absorbed significant casualties — said the work is intended as a testament for the eight soldiers under his command who were killed. The book integrates his own perspective with testimony gathered from other soldiers in the company, according to a post by journalist Ido Tauber on Monday. The writer, whose name is not disclosed in the post, described the project as a chronicle of the battalion's fight and losses. No other details on the book's title, publisher, or release date were provided.
