This document is a page from a memoir (likely Ehud Barak's) describing the failed rescue of hostage Nachshon Wachsman from Hamas in 1994. The narrator recounts the operational details, the death of officer Nir Poraz and the hostage, and the subsequent political fallout where Prime Minister Rabin took public responsibility. The text concludes with an emotional account of the narrator visiting the grieving parents and maintaining a relationship with them alongside his wife, Nava.
