Filmed before the Hamas massacre of October 7th, Brigadier General "Chiko" Tamir invites me into his home, right at the border between Israel and Lebanon, to talk about his career as a venerated combat officer in the Israel Defense Forces.
He took me behind the scenes of his military escapades, including the firefight he led that killed the son of the recently eliminated Head of Hezbollah, Hassan Nasrallah, his decision to bring the body of Nasrallah's son back to Israel, and the successful exchange Israel later made in order to recover the body of one of Israel's fallen soldiers.
In Part 2, he gives an ominous warning about Hamas's determination to build a full scale terrorist-army and the need for Israel to counter that threat. He then outlines his views on leadership on the battlefield and in life, before I set out on my way to enjoy a bite of KNAFE, an Israeli dessert stuffed with cheese and other delights, baked by Lebanese refugees who now live in Israel.
