There are many heroes who fought the terrorists that day. One question that we will not answer here is, why did Israel let Hamas in to kill their people? Who was behind it? Why did they do this to their own nation? Was it the Deep State doing their disgusting thing yet again
Leviathan Productions has commissioned Avi Issacharoff and Lior Raz, the creators of the acclaimed Israeli political thriller series “Fauda,” to script a new film titled “October 7th.” The movie will chronicle the true-life heroics of Noam Tibon, a retired Israeli general who made headlines for his dramatic rescue of his family from Hamas gunmen during an attack on their kibbutz in Nahal Oz, southern Israel, on October 7, 2023.
The film will center on the courageous rescue mission led by Noam Tibon, who left everything on the morning of October 7, traveling from #TelAviv down south to save his son and his family residing in Kibbutz Nahal Oz.

The backdrop of this gripping story is a significant assault launched by Hamas from the Gaza Strip, which tragically resulted in the deaths of nearly 1,200 people, mostly Israeli citizens. During this turbulent period, Noam’s son, Amir Tibon, an award-winning journalist, was taking cover in the kibutz from Hamas gunfire with his wife and two daughters. Amir described the gunfire as “the most chilling noise” he had ever heard.
In a desperate moment, Amir contacted his parents for help. His father, leveraging his extensive experience in counterterrorism, assured him over the phone, “Trust me, I will come. This is my profession; nobody can stop me.” Following this exchange, Noam and his wife embarked on a perilous journey from Tel Aviv to Nahal Oz.

Armed only with a handgun, Noam engaged Palestinian gunmen, rescued survivors of a nearby music festival massacre, and provided aid to wounded Israeli soldiers. After a grueling ten-hour ordeal, Amir and his family were finally relieved to see Noam arrive at their location. The moment was marked by emotional relief when Amir’s daughter exclaimed that her grandfather had arrived, signaling their safety.
Noam Tibon’s actions during this crisis drew significant attention on social media, with some drawing parallels between him and Liam Neeson’s character in the movie “Taken,” who is known for his particular set of skills in rescuing his kidnapped daughter.
