Tonight on Keshet 12, a senior Shin Bet commander shares her harrowing October 7 story of dodging Hamas captivity on a Gaza border kibbutz, highlighting elite rescue prioritization.
A senior Shin Bet commander living on the Gaza border kibbutz on October 7 faced a severe risk of captivity by Hamas. Tonight on Keshet 12, her story will be revealed with an uncovered face.
The documentary features senior Shin Bet officials, including an active operator from the elite Tekila team who fought that day. He described the difficult dilemma of prioritizing her rescue alongside saving families fighting for their lives.
"A rescue-obligated asset means you cannot lose it," explained the former head of the Shin Bet Southern District regarding her high-ranking status. He compared it to the catastrophic scenario of the head of Aman military intelligence being kidnapped.
Despite the imperative to extract her quickly to prevent sensitive intelligence from falling into enemy hands, forces prioritized civilian lives. "Before we go and rescue her, first of all, we need to go and rescue the families we know are fighting terrorists at the bomb shelter door," the Tekila fighter stated.
