Always A Hero
Amongst the tragic accounts of the October 7th terrorist attack on innocent Israeli citizens, there are stories of heroism.
Oz Davidian, a farmer from the small village of Maslul, was not far from the Nova music festival when terrorists descended on the crowd and brutally assaulted innocent partygoers. Without a second thought, Oz jumped into action. While his wife and four children waited at home in a secured room, Oz drove directly into the danger zone and, in an act of remarkable bravery, brought 120 young people to safety.
Oz made about 20 trips between the festival and neighboring villages, continuing through the night and into the early hours of the morning. With terrorists in full control of the roads, Oz drove through gunfire past shattered cars and piles of corpses in order to save anyone he could. At one point, he even came face-to-face with terrorists and managed to get away unscathed while they shot at him.
Oz didn’t stop until he was sure he had saved everyone he could. Upon his return, he reported the unimaginable “evil” he had witnessed, and said “When you see hundreds of young people, dead and wounded and fleeing into the fields and terrorists shooting in every direction, you put everything to one side; the fear, the family and you go to get them out.”
His daughter, Oriah, said “he has always been my hero.”
