On October 7, combat helicopter pilots faced life-or-death decisions as they responded to a surprise attack in southern Israel. Lt. Col. Tavor and Maj. Boaz were among the first to launch Apache helicopters, navigating confusion and danger as they tried to block armed militants near key military bases. The pilots received rapidly changing information over the radio, forcing them to adapt their plans mid-flight. Under intense fire, including narrowly evading multiple missiles, they realized the front lines had shifted and took decisive action to protect their comrades on the ground. Their experiences, now detailed in a new book, highlight the chaos and split-second choices that shaped the outcome of that day.
