Last moments of Brig.-Gen. Uba: final messages as troops raced for rescue
Some of the last communication from the late Brig.-Gen. Uba have emerged, revealing his calmness and determination even as troops of Operation Hadin Kai intensified efforts to reach him.
In one of the messages, the General asked:
“Are they going to pick me or direct me on where to go?”
A response from the coordinating team assured him:
“Sir, they will remain overhead and coordinate with the troops moving towards you, Sir.”
Not long after, he sent another update:
“My battery is 31% now.”
His final message captured both hope and resilience as he attempted to make himself visible to the air component:
“Sir, I am on foot, but once I see the aircraft, I can raise my peak cap.”
These were the last words received from Brig.-Gen. Uba before contact was lost.
