Earth is the only place in the universe where human civilization has developed. There are many creatures living in the world, but humans are the best among them. Great God has created man in the best way. But some political leaders spread war among people for supremacy, rule and business gain. They cannot achieve anything by killing people and destroying human civilization. As humans are born, it is our responsibility to protect humans and humanity. I wrote this short story out of a sense of responsibility. Not to disrespect any person, nation or state. Yet if anyone reads this story and feels disrespected. I personally apologize to him. Let's work together for peace to end all wars and protect people and humanity. Oh! great God, I say to you, "Save man and human civilization with your almighty power, so that he may fly freedom and freely in the blue sky."

A laser-guided missile was fired from the sky at two apartment buildings next to a shelter in Rafah, southwest of Gaza! Five loud sounds in a row! The car parked on the road next to the building was burnt by the missile attack, a single-story building was also bombed and the surrounding area caught fire! The entire area was covered in black smoke! The sound of people's self-screams and cries began to be heavy around! The people of Gaza have become accustomed to seeing this scene over the past nine months, so many people are watching in silence, waiting for the rescue operation to begin!

Beautiful morning! James hurried out of the office with his Android phone and wallet from his personal drawer. A car is waiting at the gate to take him home. He sat in the car feeling very happy today. Today is a special day for him! Today is her wedding anniversary! He is going to celebrate this special day for the third time with Zara. However, this year he has another partner in this special celebration, his one-year-old son Sharon. She is so excited for this special day since last night! Today's success will be dedicated to her on this special day! He will celebrate this success together with Zara! The IDF will surely give him the Best Airman 2024, President Award at the end of the year for this achievement. He managed to fire laser guided missiles accurately at five targets in a row. The missiles successfully hit their targets in less than 1 minute. Which is incredible!

The car is running to the north with him! James and his family live in a one-story farm house in the small, quiet northern town of Haifa. There is a beautiful garden in front which Zara has arranged in her own way and a huge crop field in the back. The house was bought by Zara. She is a nature lover! She does not like war at all. Alarm of phone message stopped his thoughts! He didn't look at his phone once after getting into the car. Many messages have accumulated in the box. At first, Zara writes the message, "Oh! my dear, Can I get a special gift today?" Reading the message, James smiled and said of course!

The next message sent by Bond. Let's say here James's only dear friend in this world is Bond. Bond Samuel. A miserable Mossad agent. Till date he is 100% successful in every mission. James realized that he would be a great warrior during his first military training in boot camp. First military training in life, still the best of the best in every respect! The more pain the Beach Trainer caused, the more pleasure he got. One day I was surprised and asked, "Don't you feel pain?" He smiled and said, "I have come to suffer, for myself, for my family, for my friends, for my country and for the Jewish people." How much time i wanted to escape from the training camp, holding hands from behind! Laughingly! he said, "If you go out, you will not survive, and if you stay, you will not survive, if you die while fleeing, it will be the death of a coward and if you die on a mission, it will be the death of a hero for the country." Where will the friend escape from this bliss of heaven? I won't let you die like a coward." Memories of boot camp flashed through his eyes...

He started to read Bond's message casually but couldn't stay casual. It started with the words "this is my last message". He quickly began to read, "Friend James, I may be far away from you when the message is read. Because you never replied my message on time. Hopefully it won't either. But my one request to you is that if my family is still alive, try your best to get them back. This is my last request to you as my friend. The one whom I have been staying with my family in Rafah for the past six months is going to come to the fifth floor apartment next to me sometime to night. You may have heard his name, Khalid Saifullah, the deputy chief of Kashem Brigade of Hamas, the arch enemy of the State of Israel. Whose position is number three on Mossad's most wanted list. But today's mission will be a suicide mission. The owner of the house I'm renting is a Hamas commander and everyone in the neighborhood. I have been staying with him as a trusted driver since last six months. Just hoping to reach Khalid. My landlord trusted me because my family is in his charge. In one of the two houses next to our house, about five hundred new Hamas members will be meeting for induction, and in the other house, senior leaders will hold an emergency meeting. Our house owner will make all arrangements for their entertainment. I will try to install GPS trackers in both houses and their cars in time. We may all die in this campaign. But if I die and the family lives, I give you the responsibility of rescuing them and bringing them back safely. If all die then only good wishes for you, have a great time with Zara!"

"I made a small prayer to God! As if you lead the air strike! If there is death, let it be at the hand of a friend. I will be happy with that too! What is your duty tonight? Please tell!" - Bond.

How long did it take to read Bond's message? He didn't follow. Is he in the world? Everything changed in an instant. He got into the car with great joy, the most successful mission of life, the wedding anniversary all gone. God has kept the prayer of the bond! He killed his friend Bond and his family in cold blood. He is looking outside through the car window. Hastily trying to forget the sorrow he is in. But he knows, in this massage he will never forget. Lara made that choice for Bond. He bought the wedding ring for Lara. They cut their only daughter Cloren's third birthday cake together last year. Everything is just a memory today. This war ended their arranged relationship.

For the past nine months, all Israelis have been trying to behave normally, but no one is able to behave normally. He is doing wrong in what he is doing. After World War- II, Israel and the Jewish nation have never faced such a difficult situation. Many recall the eight-decade curse described in the Talmud. Will the state of Israel collapse? What will be removed from the map of the world? James wouldn't know. A state which took seven decades to build cannot collapse suddenly in eight decades. Israel is a nuclear powered state. Whom no one can beat. Even if Israel is broken, it will take another seven decades. Only the Jews can break! the only Jewish state in the world! It is almost impossible for any other country. If Israel and Palestine had been separate states, if both had coexisted peacefully as other states, this war would not have happened, his friend Bond would not have been cut from his life. People who do politics always want to show their power, not compromise.

Suddenly the car carrying James stopped. Members of Homeland Security blocked the road! There are members of the army! The car does not go forward. Hezbollah launched a rocket attack from Lebanon! Seven rockets crash at the sky, but one rocket hit a farm house a kilometer ahead. A member of the army came forward and told the driver of the car carrying James to go back. As soon as the car turned, James left his thoughts and returned to normal, looked at the driver and said, "What happened?" The driver said, "Hezbollah launched a rocket attack in front, one rocket hit a farm house in front. James started to look around the farm house upset! The house may be 1 km away from the place where his car is parked. He quickly got out of the car and waved goodbye to the driver. He started walking down the familiar road towards home, praying to himself that Zara and Sharon would be safe! Seeing many security personnel in front of the house from a distance, he could no longer walk normally, ran to the gate of the house, but the security personnel did not allow him to approach the house. In fact, the rocket landed on his farmhouse, collapsing the walls inside and around the house. Security personnel are clearing the inside of the house and searching for the dead body. James couldn't stand it any longer. He knelt down and sat on the green grass of Zara's garden. He covered his face with both hands and began to cry, and began to say "Oh God! Stop these, save humanity! I have nothing to lose." He did not dare to open his eyes to look around. He has received training from the IDF to deal with many difficult situations in life but he has not received the training to deal with the difficult situation of seeing your own differences. If there had been no war, he would not have been in such dire straits. Without removing his hand from his mouth, he started saying "O God! Stop this war so that people can survive! Stop this war!" A hand gently touched James' shoulder and said, "Do you promise to stop this war!" James stopped crying now that he recognized the voice. This is Zara's voice! Is he alive? He didn't die? "O God! Thank you very much! He's alive!" He looked back as he spoke. Can't believe it! This is the truth Zara survives. Sharon on his lap. He is also alive! Zara is holding a bouquet of red tulips which is her favorite. The first day he saw Zara at the flower market, Zara had such a bouquet in her hand. which she bought as a birthday present for his friend. Zara said with a smile, "Can you cry? I saw you cry for the first time today. You look very beautiful today. I went to the flower market to get this gift for you. Thank God so much! He is the one who saved your life." James hugged Zara. He had never felt so happy! He is in heaven.

A phone call broke the romance at James. She let go of Zara and answered the phone. He did it very quickly because the number was Bond's phone number. A feeling of joy filled him that may be Bond survived this mission like Zara! but no A stranger's voice, a young man's. "who are you, James?" James replied, "You're right. Now tell me where you got Bond's phone? A strange voice said, "Who is Bond? Is it Bond's number? What do you bond with? Do you know Lara? And Cloren?", James said sternly, "Where from you call, do you answer first? Who are you?" Where is the bond? Where are Lara and Cloren? How are they all?" The unknown voice said coldly, "I am a fighter for freedom, to get my land back, I have been fighting from 72 years. You are James, a fighter pilot of the IDF. Your friend Bond died in a precision strike by a pilot like you. We knew him as Al-Barak. He was with us as a driver for six months. He was a very good agent in the Mossad. He has succeeded but we will not fail, inshallah! We have taken his family (his wife and children) hostage. He killed one of my leaders and we want to take out three of our leaders instead. You will definitely help us in this regard. As long as your government does not accede to our demands, they will remain our special guests along with other prisoners." "Can I speak to Lara?" said James. The stranger hung up the phone without answering. James called back but no reply.

In the morning, the red sun is just beating in the eastern sky. One by one, family members, relatives, friends and ordinary Israeli citizens of the hostages are gathering on the street in front of the presidential building. Placards are being decorated in the hands of many of them, those who are leading them are also speaking with hand mike (microphone) calling for the release of hostages and an end to the war! Their only demand to the government is to release the hostages as soon as possible and take effective measures to stop the war. At any rate they want their people back free and alive. Three more new people have joined them. James, Zara and their one-year-old son Sharon. James took the mike (microphone) in his own hand and narrated the purpose of his coming to this gathering, the story of Bond's sacrifice for the country and his family being held hostage. He also agreed with all their demands. He vowed to continue the movement with them until their demands were met and announced that he would not return to his post under the IDF. James' announcement gave new hope to the agitators. They all pledged to free the Israeli hostages and protect the integrity of the state in exchange for anything earthly.

Within half an hour an IDF car arrived and arrested James. James is housed in the officer's quarters under which the scordon leader works. Two security guards flanked him. Today he sits as a criminal. His scordon leader's name is Arrian. He was personally very fond of James, for his skill and temper. But she quickly becomes emotional at Bond's sacrifice, which she can never accept. So he is keen to give James a chance to change his mind. At present he is stationed in the office of the Central Commander on urgent work. James sits and wonders how the officer can actually convince him. The officer can punish him with six months in jail for breach of discipline and depriving him of all government facilities for life. But James doesn't want to go to jail because if he does, he won't be able to save Lara and Cloren, it will be too late. If it is not the best way to convince the officer to resign, he has thought of another way.

As the officer entered his room after five in the afternoon, James stood up to pay his respects. Arrian sat back in his chair as usual and began to speak calmly. "James quickly tell me what your next plan is? How can I help you? James calmly presented his demands. He asked for his help in freeing Bond's family from their hostage situation. Arian observed a minute of silence, what did he think? Later he called a close senior officer friend of his in the Mossad intelligence agency from his personal phone. He hung up the phone after talking for two minutes. Called the personal assistant and asked for two cold coffees. Which he and James like very much. He sat in this office for a long time and ate it with James. It took them 10 minutes to finish the coffee. Finishing his coffee, he stood up from his chair and tried to look out the back window. He looked at James with a small smile, and James looked at him. Arrian said calmly "James are you ready for your next mission." James replied "Yes, I am ready". Before he could finish, Arrian shot him at close range, between the left arm and chest. James cried out in pain! his left arm was pierced. Arion's personal assistant came from the next room and seeing him, Arrian said, "Get him to the ambulance standing at the gate." And looking at James, he said, "Good luck! with your new mission, good bye!"

The ambulance took him south west towards Rafah. He is accompanied by three others, including the driver, all members of the Mossad, one of whom removed the bullet from his arm, cleaned and bandaged the wound. Their group captain briefed him on the mission, dressed him like a Palestinian and dropped him off near a mosque. Palestinians are gathering inside the mosque for night prayers. James met them. Many asked him the cause of his wounds and he said an IDF soldier had shot him. God saved him. So he came to the mosque to thank God for the treatment. Everyone thanked God together with him. Someone asked his name, James replied "Hussain bin Ali." This name is very common among them. He was already taught the rules of mosque etiquette and prayer. He also learned to read the Koran from Bond. Which will be very useful for him today.

At the end of the prayer, everyone started to leave, only James remained. The Imam Ali surrounded by their leader and some local people, asked about him and his family. He showed the ration card with his father's photo. The captain gave it to him before taking it down. They lived in the Jarin refugee camp in the north of Gaza. "They all died in the IDF airstrikes," cries James. Imam Ali came up from among them and took James to his chest and said "From today I am your father Ali", you will be happy to know that I have a son like you whose name is Kashem bin Ali. He is fighting for freedom. From today you are my child. His place of residence is the porch of the mosque. The dinner came from Imam Ali's family. Sitting alone at night on the porch of the mosque thinking only of his Bond family, will he be able to complete his mission? As the night grew deeper, a group of people came to the mosque many nights, James woke up to their words. Not noticing how long he had slept, he tried to figure out who had entered the mosque. All standing in front of Imam Ali's house, one knocked on the door. The Imam opened the door and let them in. A veiled woman and her child entered first, followed by a group of nine others. Everyone discussed for about 1 hour inside. Later six people came out and went to look around. The Imam came out for the midnight prayer, prayed for a while, then called James and entered his room. In Imam Ali's room, apart from him and James, a young man from outside, a blindfolded woman and a child are staying. The imam introduced the young man as Kashem bin Ali, his only son and blindfolded women and children to the family of a Mossad agent who had been arrested two days earlier. James took a good look at them before they finished speaking. He recognized the ring on the woman's hand. He enters Rafa in hopes of safely freeing Bond's wife Lara and his three-year-old daughter Cloren. He greets Kashem like a Muslim. He also said and wanted to join them in the Kashem Brigade to fight for independence and freedom of their land. He showed the wound on his hand and said that all the family members were dead. James said all this so that he could join them and reach out to them to free the Israeli prisoners, including Bond's family. Kashem was told by his father to take James with them and train him in battle. Leaving the Imam and his son and the captives to rest, James returned to the porch of the mosque. As many Muslims were entering the mosque for the last night prayer, he stood up to pray like them. James had never really believed in God in his life, but after meeting the Bond's family as he wept after Zara and Ariane, his faith in God began to form. God has kept him and the Bond's family alive in the midst of so many dangers, brought them before him. He began to pray not to show off the Muslims, but to thank God! The God has arranged and protected man and human civilization for millions of years will save it in the end. Is there anyone other than him to protect that? After the prayer, James sat on the balcony of the mosque and planned to take Lara and her child out to safety. He said to God, "Oh! God, help me!" James spent the whole day busy with Kashem. They attacked IDF military vehicles at the entrance to this residential area three times and pushed them back. One of their bulldozer and tank managed to catch fire with rocket-propelled grenades. Two Israeli soldiers were killed and four others were injured. Nine to ten fighters of Kashem Brigade died. Kashem James and another companion somehow escaped with their lives. However, James's war strategy saved them. Kashem was slightly injured. However, as of today, soldiers will no longer enter the area. If they take a day to come back together, James will be able to free Lara and her child from captivity. Must do it tonight. He returned to the mosque in the afternoon. Imam Ali gave first aid to his child and said "Make arrangements to move towards Rafa Crossing by tonight." And of course he would take Hasan bin Ali (James as they know him) with him. Kashem replied "Of course, he is very brave and intelligent, he saved us." Today was a different day as James saw IDF soldiers die before his eyes but he could do nothing for them. But those who beat them were brought alive. In fact, the engraving saved them.

Everyone straightened the queue in preparation for the evening prayer. Everyone focused on prayer. James had been waiting for this moment. Now only two are there for security. One is in Lara's room and the other is at the main gate of the mosque. James entered Lara's room first and asked the security guard to join the prayer, he naturally caught James leaving to join the prayer with AK 47, James killed him by striking from behind. Freed them by opening their eyes, arms and legs with Lara and cloren. She couldn't imagine James coming to save him. She thanked God! James gives him his phone and tells him to go to the house where Bond was bombed. Three houses after that house there is a broken minaret and mosque. Lara reached there and called Captain Arrian from the phone to tell him about her location. They will rescue her within 5 minutes if she is identified. Lara just said "Aren't you going with us?" James replied "There are many prisoners like you still trapped in Gaza, I will stay to rescue them. You reach Haifa and go to Zara and you go out wearing the veil so that you can easily mix with Rafa's girls." James went out to the main gate and asked security to join him in prayer. The security guard said him to wait till the prayers were over. As they spoke, Lara walked out the back of the mosque with her child towards the apartment she shared with Bond. Lara reached the broken mosque near his house and told them the location. Arrian replied simply "Lara stay there and keep calling God! We are rescuing you in 5 minutes." Lara held her daughter to her chest and waited to get out of this hell. Lara did not know that 5 minutes is so long in life.

After the prayer, Kashem came to the room but did not find Lara and her child and went out to search with everyone. First, James suggested they head towards the entrance to the living quarters. Everyone went to search in that direction. They were not found there. Now to everyone's surprise, James asked to go to the house where he was caught. Kashem and everyone again supported James and headed in that direction. James wants to make sure that Lara actually made it back safely. As they all reached Bond's residence, the sound of a helicopter was heard in the sky. James realized that the rescue team had arrived. Three helicopters came to the rescue, two circled the sky and started firing all around. A position was taken over a mosque. The commandos started descend the rope quickly and searched around. Lara opened her veil and came out in front of them with her hands raised. First they made sure to get them safety and cover them both with bulletproof jackets and helmets. The helicopter landed on the grounds of the mosque. Kashem and his companions wanted to open fire. James stopped them and asked them to look at the sky. There are two more helicopters in position, if there is a sound of gunfire, there will be a missile attack before they move. As a result, no one can survive. Kashem understood the matter and ordered not to fire. Everyone watched Lara's rescue operation from the broken house. In front of James's eyes, the rescue helicopters carrying Lara and Claren took off towards Haifa. Kashem and his fellow fighters started moving towards the Rafah crossing with James. Will James see a happier scene in life? Tears came to James' eyes. He was finally able to rescue Bond's family. Is Bond watching it from heaven? Who has delivered this to him? who made the human, the God was do it? Did the man who made the engraving do it? For thousands of years, God has rescued human civilization from many adversities.

Kashem and his fellow fighters started moving towards the Rafah Crossing with James. They pass through a residential area and crop fields. James looked around calmly for the first time. The high-rise buildings today blend into the ground, while the people of Rafa lived there in peace. How many relationships they had, how many possibilities in life. Today they are refugees, moving from place to place in fear of IDF attacks. There used to be a sense of excitement when Missile hit targets from the plane, now he has a different feeling as he sees the destruction of human civilization in area after area. In response to the October 7th attack, we killed nearly 40,000 Palestinians who have been oppressed in their own land for 72 years. The October 7th attack on Israeli common people was a great crime against humanity, but in the name of eliminating Hamas, we have eliminated humanity from Gaza in revenge. The two truths of keeping the Israeli's people safe and rescuing captives and sustaining human civilization in Gaza divide James. He would never be able to deny that in his future life. Hamas has numerous tunnels within a kilometer of the Rafah crossing, which allow them to safely enter Egypt during the day. They use the tunnels for weapons and security. Kashem wanted to go to Egypt through the tunnel next to the Rafah crossing to relieve the fatigue of the war and to ship new weapons, but James stopped him, to everyone's surprise. No one has disobeyed him till date. Today, James remembered bond, he wanted to stay in Gaza to fight for humanity and free the hostages, rather than run away like a coward. Kashem looked at her face and wanted to see what. Addressing everyone, he said, "Who do you want to be with Hasan Bin Ali (James as they know him)?" Who else will go with me to Egypt?" One only wanted to go with Kashem and the rest wanted to stay with James to defend the Rafa Crossing.

Gaza is connected to the world by land through the Rafah crossing. Most aid vehicles enter Gaza via the Rafah crossing. James remained in the Rafa crossing area with the other fighters until Kashem returned with a shipment of new weapons. Three days later the IDF began an operation to capture the Rafah Crossing. Many fighters of Kashem Brigade took part in the defense of the Rafah Crossing which is important for all. Jame and fellow warriors fought with them. At one stage all the resistance fighters left the Rafah crossing and moved towards different residential areas. Israeli soldiers captured it. James' small group also headed back towards the residential area. Relief vehicles were barred from entering the Rafah crossing. When a relief vehicle entered, thousands of people would rush from residential areas hoping for some food. But now that hope is over. They too are human beings, but some politician leader dreams of freedom cold-heartedly pushing them into starvation. Again, the Israeli government dreams of eliminating them for security, and a group of arms dealers dreams of making tens of billions of dollars. What is James dreaming about? Is it just freeing the Israeli hostages? Who will free the human civilization hostage in their own land for 72 years? He became a member of Kashem Brigade to serve as a detective. Now he will dream of liberation like them? Will they fight the Israeli army? How long does he have to leave his family and look for hostages? Palestinians have been fighting for 72 years? How long can they survive to fight? God knows best! Millions of Gazans will die of starvation due to the cessation of food aid, which he is not prepared to see as a human being. Looking at the blue sky, James said quietly, "Oh! my God, you release all the hostages." "If this war does not stop, there will be more hostages, whether today or ten years later, what can he save them? Will he be able to remain one of Kashem Brigade until then?" "Oh! God, you stop this war forever! So that humanity can be freed from hostages and fly freely in the blue sky."
