The late Capt. Eden Nimri, an officer from the 'Sky Rider' unit, fought bravely and saved lives on the seventh of October. When terrorists broke into the Nahal Oz outpost, she directed her female soldiers and observers into the shelter, stood in the doorway, and waited for the terrorists.
When they arrived, she killed the first ones of them. Under the protection of the shootout that Eden engaged in with the many terrorists who continued to arrive, many of the female soldiers managed to escape and be saved. Eden absorbed the fire but saved many of them.
Hanukkah is also a celebration of women's heroism. At Hanukkah, it is customary to celebrate Judith, who was seen by some as the sister of Judah the Maccabee. According to tradition, she killed the general Holofernes who was besieging her city. With cunning and courage, she killed the commander, causing the Greeks to flee and the city to be freed from the siege.
A thread of heroic women has been woven for thousands of years between Judith, the mythological heroine, and Eden, a heroine of our time, who will yet become mythology.

@Rachael_Swindon Don’t see people like her getting passionate about the amount of children they kill in their own country every year at their own hand, no passion about the number of young black men killed by members of their own community. Meaningless rant.
@zarahsultana Absolute rubbish, HAMAS have sole responsibility for the situation visited on Gaza, the UK government can’t be blamed and are rightly supporting Israel’s right to defend its people.
