The Tel Saki post is an observation post that on the eve of the Yom Kippur war was not manned continuously but was usually used for night observations. On October 6th, 1973 at noon, a team of soldiers from the 50th Nahal Parachute Battalion of the 35th Brigade, led by Lieutenant Menachem Ansbacher, was sent to the post. The team consisted of five soldiers and one driver of an armored personnel carrier. The mission of this team was to observe the area to the east and try to locate Syrian artillery fire in the event that hostilities were to commence. When the Yom Kippur war began, the hill where the observation post was located was subjected to heavy artillery fire from Syrian forces. At dawn on October 7th, the soldiers at the post were attacked and besieged by infantry and armored units from the Syrian army's 132nd mechanized brigade. Eventually a group of 26 soldiers were able to survive in the observation post until noon on October 8th, then were rescued by other fighters who arrived at the post. This was largely due to the efforts of one individual, Yitzchak Nagarker, who left the post and convinced the Syrian soldiers that all the other soldiers inside had been killed. The Syrians believed him and did not enter the post. Nagarker was subsequently captured and subjected to severe torture before being released in June 1974 as part of a prisoner exchange.
During the battles that took place at and around Tel Saki, 32 soldiers from three different units - the 50th Battalion of the 35th Brigade, the 82nd Battalion of the 7th Brigade, and the 74th Battalion of the 188th Brigade - were killed.
about the cache:
The cache is hidden outside the bunker to ensure easy and uninterrupted access, even when the site is crowded. As soon as you get to GZ, you'll know where to look for the cache. Since the container is small (a nano) and difficult to find, the hint and spoiler pictures provide additional details to make locating the cache easier. If you want a challenge, don't decrypt the clue and don't look at the picture.
