This is the story that would earn her Israel’s highest military honor.

While stationed on the Sinai border which separates Israel from Egypt, a report came in that 3 suspicious vehicles (on the Egyption side of the fence) were heading towards the Israeli border.

Captain Or Ben-Yehuda and her driver went to investigate. Upon getting to the location, terrorist began unloading from the vehicles. In total 23 bad guys quickly took their planned out positions and with out warning, they began firing on the two lone soldiers.

The two found themselves taking fire from 3 separate locations…and they both were immediately hit. Despite being wounded from bullets to her upper body, Capt. Ben-Yehuda went directly to the aid of her driver. He was shot through the arm.

When young woman got to her wounded teammate, she began administering first-aid while firing back on the twenty-three attackers.
