Her blanket falls slightly over her shoulder due to the narrow and uncomfortable military bed. Yehoshua tries to lower his feet to the floor. He digests his feelings in silence. His leg is working again. He slowly straightens up, holding on to the wall next to him. A dull pain reminds him that he seriously injured his leg just 48 hours ago.
He turns around, goes around his bed and makes sure to cover Eliran's shoulders with a blanket and finds himself sitting in front of her, watching her as she wakes up. She smiles a sad smile at him. The door suddenly opens and Eli and his wife burst in.
ELI
We need to decide quickly. Within two or three hours a large Egyptian tank force is arriving here from the direction of Sede Boker. Another Palestinian force is now coming down from the direction of Be'er Sheva to reinforce them. They intend to suppress the Israeli forces that remain active in the Mitzpe Ramon area. Now that the Israeli government has surrendered, they expect the army and civilians to obey their orders.
Yehoshua gets to his feet, slightly lame.
YEHOSHUA

He is amazed at the very thought that he can stand on his feet, while Raya's face glows with joy.

I told you my sister has amazing powers.
