- On October 7th, 2023, as the chaos of a massive attack unfolded on Israel's southern border, a young IDF officer, 2nd Lt. Avichail Reuven, made a life-changing decision. With no car and no official orders, he ran eight miles to the Gaza border to protect his people. This video tells the incredible story of his bravery, determination, and the belief that guided him through that harrowing day.
Reuven's journey is not just a story of physical endurance but a testament to the power of faith and the courage to stand up for others. From his decisive actions at the Zikim base to the moment his story was shared with the world, Reuven's tale is one of inspiration and resilience.
Today, Reuven continues to serve in the IDF, leading with the same values that carried him through that fateful day. Learn how his actions saved lives and why he believes he was guided by something greater than himself.

I salute you Reuben my prayers go out to all the IDF soldiers from Australia 🇦🇺
The IDF is the most trustworthy and reliable army in this beautiful world of the good God. God bless the IDF.
If you knew anything about Israel you’d know how painfully untrue and ignorant that statement is.
@@HermanDinkins While it is not THE MOST reliable it is still loved by us Israelis because without it, we won't exist. we would be killed.
And the blesser will be blessed
Is this irony?
@HermanDinkins No, you got to show that.
Big Props to Lt.. Reuben for bravery under hostile fire. A proud son of Ethiopia. He will be a future general in the IDF👈🇮🇱

The story of Lieutenant Avichail Reuven, the Ethiopian-Israeli soldier who ran 8 miles to the Gaza border to fight Hamas terrorists, is truly inspiring. His bravery and determination, despite the challenging circumstances, exemplify the heroic spirit and resilience that Ethiopians have demonstrated throughout history. It's heartwarming to see his courage recognized and honored by Prime Minister Netanyahu. This act of valor not only highlights the strength and dedication of Ethiopian immigrants but also serves as a powerful reminder of the incredible contributions they make to their communities and beyond. Truly admirable!
I salute this soldier
May God bless Reuven

Good job Reuven. May God bless you. Stay strong IDF stay united Israel
If you know this area, this guy is not just a legend; he's beyond amazing. Besides the sacrifice and risk to his life, the effort of running into that dangerous place more than 12 kilometers in this heat with long-sleeved uniforms and a big riffle is extreme. Israel has many heroes like this guy who are not celebrities and do not do interviews because soldiers can not interview most of the time. This Reuven guy should get rewarded in any way possible.
