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. (Zagazola, excluding headline)
