Its owner, attending to his crying 5-year-old, is a volunteer for a rapid response counter-terrorist squad with the police. NY Post Editor and Columnist David Christopher Kaufman shares this story.
Many such squads have formed in Israeli cities in the months following Hamas’ attack on Oct. 7, in which 1,200 people were murdered and 253 were taken hostage into Gaza.
