President Herzog at Memorial for Oct. 7 Victims: ‘At Nahal Oz, 800 meters from Gaza, female soldiers watched and warned months before the disaster’

‘At 6:29, on that terrible morning, they identified the terrorists approaching the fence and alerted. They saw them crossing it, they watched and alerted. In a steady voice, they announced the military code for a terrorist infiltration into Israel: ‘Turkish Horseman.’ Fifty-three male and female soldiers from various and diverse units fell in the heroic battle for the Nahal Oz outpost. And hundreds more fell that day. All of them were heroines, all of them were heroes.’
