While the woman fighters of the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) were giving a befitting reply to the Hamas terrorists, countrywoman Daniel Wolfson was on a different mission.
The women fighters dominated, literally, in the battlefield and also world’s highest peak. Daniel became the first Israeli woman to conquer Everest, the world’s highest peak above sea level at an altitude of 8,848.86 meters.
Like the other brave Israeli woman, 43-year-old Daniel Wolfson was no exception. The feat came a decade after as in 2011 Wolfson fell off a cable car during a vacation in Bulgaria and the doctors said she would never be able to walk again. She conquered Everest.
“I’m at the summit! At this very moment I have reached the summit of Everest, and I am on top of the world, I promise to update more, now all that remains is to get down,” wrote Wolfson on her Facebook page.
Wolfson diligently and regularly documented the journey to the summit of Mount Everest, which stands at an altitude of 8,848.86 meters (29,031.70 feet) above sea level.
“All the preparations I made and all the mountains I climbed did not prepare me for the difficulty of this journey, but my spirit is strong and I carry on,” wrote Wolfson on Facebook on May 11.
Two days later, on May 13, Wolfson shared with her followers on Instagram the many hurdles and hardships of her grueling journey. “I have one leg left and with you I can do it,” she wrote.
Wolfson also dedicated her achievement to her country, which she largely carried out as it was in the midst of a fierce war with Palestinian terror groups in Gaza.
“My country Israel is on fire,” she wrote. “I want to say that I am with my country at every moment, my heart goes out to you. Now my journey is to the summit to raise the Israeli flag and shout on the top of the world: “We are strong people!”
