Leviathan Productions has secured the services of Avi Issacharoff and Lior Raz, the creators of the popular Israeli political thriller series "Fauda," to write the script for a new film titled "October 7th." The film will chronicle the true story of Noam Tibon, a retired Israeli general who gained international recognition for rescuing his family from Hamas gunmen during an attack on Nahal Oz, their kibbutz in southern Israel, on October 7, 2023.

The attack, launched by Hamas from the Gaza Strip, resulted in the deaths of nearly 1,200 people, primarily Israeli citizens. Noam's son, award-winning journalist Amir Tibon, was sheltering in their kibbutz with his wife and two daughters, enduring the intense gunfire. He described the sound as "the most chilling noise" he had ever heard.

Amir contacted his parents, and his father, a veteran of counterterrorism, responded with unwavering determination, "Trust me, I will come. This is my profession; nobody can stop me." Noam and his wife embarked on a perilous journey south from Tel Aviv to assist their family.

Armed only with a handgun, Noam bravely confronted Palestinian gunmen along the way, rescuing survivors of the music festival massacre and aiding wounded Israeli soldiers. After a grueling ten hours, Noam reached his family, bringing immense relief and a wave of emotion.

Tibon's heroic actions quickly gained widespread attention on social media, with many comparing him to Liam Neeson's character, Bryan Mills, from the film "Taken." Both Tibon and Mills share a similar unwavering determination to protect their loved ones, with Tibon's statement, "This is my profession; nobody can stop me," echoing Mills' famous line, "What I do have are a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a very long career, skills that make me a nightmare for people like you."

Noam and Amir Tibon will serve as consultants on the film project, ensuring the authenticity and accuracy of their family's harrowing experience.
