The gripping, true story of how leading Israeli journalist Amir Tibon,
along with his wife and their two young children, were rescued on 7
October 2023 by Tibon’s father ― an incredible tale of survival that
also reveals the tensions and failures that led to Hamas’s attacks that
day.
On that fateful day, Tibon and his wife were awakened by mortar rounds
exploding near their home in Kibbutz Nahal Oz, a progressive Israeli
settlement along the Gaza border. Soon, they were holding their two
young daughters in the family’s reinforced safe room, urging them not
to cry while they all listened to the gunfire from Hamas attackers
outside their windows. With his mobile phone battery running low, Amir
texted his father: ‘They’re here.’
Some 45 miles to the north, on the shores of Tel Aviv, Amir’s parents
saw the news at the same time as they received Amir’s note.
Immediately, they jumped in their car and raced toward Nahal Oz, armed
only with a pistol ― but intent on saving their family at all costs.
In The Gates of Gaza, Tibon tells his family’s harrowing story,
describing their terrifying ordeal ― and the bravery that led to their
rescue ― alongside the histories of the place they call home and the
systems of power that have kept them and their neighbours in Gaza in
harm’s way for decades. With sensitivity, and drawing on Israeli and
Palestinian sources, Tibon offers an unsparing but ultimately hopeful
view of this seemingly intractable conflict and its global
reverberations.
