On the morning of October 7, as sirens shattered the quiet, Captain Yuval Doak, commander of the Nahal Patrol’s PLASEM, knew instinctively that she was needed — immediately.
Without stopping to change, still in her pajamas and carrying only her pistol, she got into her car and drove straight toward the danger. There was no hesitation, no second thought.
On the way, she came face-to-face with a convoy of terrorists on motorcycles. Thinking fast, she steadied the steering wheel with her knees and opened fire — stopping two attackers before even reaching her unit.
Once there, Yuval didn’t just fight — she led. With calm under pressure, she took control, coordinated air support, directed troops, and played a critical role in saving countless lives.
And when the formal command structure collapsed, she created one of her own — turning her living room into a command center and continuing to lead until the fighting ended.
This isn’t just bravery.
This is leadership.
This is heroism. 💛
