Israel’s canine unit, Oketz, was pivotal in rescuing 200 Israelis and neutralizing 10 Hamas terrorists at Kibbutz Be’eri. However, in a separate mission at Kibbutz Kfar Aza, a dog named Nauru revealed terrorists’ positions but tragically lost its life during the operation. The Oketz unit’s commander emphasised unity and determination in the mission to confront terrorists in the Gaza Strip. These highly trained dogs serve various roles, including attack, search and rescue, explosive detection, and weapon location, highlighting their commitment to Israel’s security.
