I want to meet you a hero from my kibbutz, Nirim. Rep. Amit Levi, a police officer who was on vacation.

When the terrorist attack started, Amit was free at his home and ran with his wife and five children to the security emergency room. When he heard the shooting, he put on an identification hat and took his M-16, he went out of the security room to the living room of the house to protect the house. Pretty quickly he realized that the army wouldn't arrive on time. We didn't understand then how far he won't come.

Amit left his wife and children at home, locked in the security room and organized a combat squad with two members of the readiness class, Michael Vestas. After organizing, they went to the Kibbutz fence, where they encountered three terrorists. They killed two terrorists and the third one escaped. And then they were heavily shot and retreated towards the homes.

They found a high position and from there they conducted fighting and surveillance as much as they could against more than 20 terrorists who were insanely armed. When the army arrived, Amit joined them. Assistant and commander as well. At this point he continues to function calmly as he begins to receive the names of police officers he knows who were killed, his family is still trapped and he continues.

When the purification of houses and rescuing families began to a focus point in the club, Amit did not run to his home.

He stayed with a class on readiness and the army to rescue families by house order. The evening is approaching, here I am already rescued and joined a colleague, I saw his function. The army was in shock, so he took command of the soldiers as well, and started managing them and the rescue. The only time that stopped, really for a minute, was when they rescued his family from his home.

He continues to get more names of friends and killed police officers. Amit is going on. He organized defense of the club to which the families were rescued, and then managed a list of who still needed to be rescued. Organize rescue squads of armed people on Clubkers.

He didn't stop until he was sure that the last of the inhabitants was rescued and the house was clean of terrorists. Next step, they moved everyone to the playgrounds which are sheltered buildings where we spent the night. I was there with Amit's wife and children. He wasn't in there. Because he stayed out with the forces and responded to terrorists' identities. It's like this until the morning.

That's how it was the next day. At five in the afternoon we left the kibbutz in a safe convoy to Eilat. Anit is not coming with us and his family to Eilat. He stayed with three other people to protect the kibbutz and assist the army forces there. Until now he's been there. And if that's not enough, then he takes care of the pets that are left behind, and every evening he gives us an organized report about the animals all home, what they ate, drank and how they are doing. The function of this man and officer as I saw with my own eyes was amazing. Thanks to this a lot of people stayed alive.

Hope it gets to the israel police so they can give him a decoration.
