Episode Description
You can't believe the 'fake news', but you CAN believe what Captain Elkana (Kuno) Cohen says because he was and still is there in the IDF! He has written the bestselling book, Oct 7: The War Against Hamas Through The Eyes of an Israeli Commando Officer. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says of the book: "The persona of the Israeli officer who strives for absolute victory is well reflected in Capt. Elkana Cohen's new book." On the morning of October 7, 2023, Israelis awoke to a harrowing reality. Not only were hundreds of rockets being launched from Gaza into Israeli population centers, but the security border between Gaza and Israel had also been breached by several thousand Hamas terrorists. Carnage, not seen since the Second World War, ensued. Elkana Cohen, Captain of an Elite Commando Unit was called, along with thousands of other reservists, to prepare for war. One that will have to ensure nothing less than Israel’s survival. In notebooks he found on the ground in the streets of Gaza, Cohen began writing a diary. Every day, he candidly documented the sights of the war. From an honest, precise and fluid first-person perspective, Cohen presents the feeling and story of the war from the eyes of the heroes who were there: the dust, the sweat, the brotherhood, the longing, and the awful smell of death and destruction. Cohen’s writing poignantly describes his relationships with his fellow comrades, the mass arrests of terrorists, the homes of Hamas members, the story of the fallen soldiers, and the desperate hope to bring the hundreds of Israeli hostages home.
