This is Inbal Lieberman. On October 7th, 2023, Hmas terrorists murdered, raped, and tortured people throughout southwestern Israel, spreading terror like a wildfire from one village or kibbutz to the next, including a music festival.
Inbal Lieberman heard the sirens and rushed along with the other residents of Kibbutz Nir Am to a shelter to escape rocket fire from Gaza. Sadly, this was not an uncommon event. What was uncommon were unusual noises in the distance that made her suspicious. So, she left the shelter, and in her role as security coordinator for her kibbutz, she summoned up the twelve other members of the security team, distributed weapons, and positioned people strategically along the security fence to ambush possible assailants.
She also made sure that the gate to the kibbutz was locked and could not be opened. When the Hamas terrorists arrived shortly after, the kibbutz was prepared. The battle lasted more than three hours. Unlike most other communities near the Gaza Strip on October 7th, Kibbutz Nir Am had no losses.
Inbal Lieberman was 26 years old at that time. Ten months earlier, at 25, she had been appointed the security coordinator of the kibbutz.
Had this happened anywhere else in the world, Inbal Lieberman would be renowned as a hero. A feminist icon. Had you even heard of her before today?
