On Saturday morning, Assaf Bavli, the General Manager of Kibbutz Magen, woke up to the Red Alarm sirens and an unusual noise of powerful missiles. After he locked himself in the safe room with his two young daughters, he heard a gunshot close to the house and realized that terrorists might have infiltrated the kibbutz. While holding the doorknob of the safe room door, he corresponded on WhatsApp with the members of the standby squad who called for reinforcements and, at the same time - with his ex-wife. After much deliberation, Assaf decided to go out and join the kibbutz members defending the kibbutz; he moved the girls to a neighbor's house, collected weapons, and joined his friends fighting in the field. For several hours, he shot at terrorists from a concrete position he took near the fence while firing grenades at him. It wasn't until noon that the IDF forces arrived. Later, Assaf and his friends continued their searches, walking with the soldiers between the kibbutz houses. While still processing the past event and the decisions he made during it, Assaf is working to restore the community and recognizes the situation that has arisen as an opportunity to strengthen the security of the surrounding settlements.
