God's Company is a nickname given to the C company in the 33rd battalion of the Alexandroni Brigade in the IDF, roughly 100 men, who were outflanked and destroyed (67 casualties) by the Egyptian forces during attempting to conquer Faluja pocket (operation Hisul). They were led by Ben Zion Helman who refused an order to retreat, saying "I will not leave, until the last of the wounded is evacuated".". An Egyptian officer, Gamal Abdel Nasser, described their stand as courageous and said he understood it after learning they took a tefillin with them into battle. They were buried with a military funeral by the Egyptian forces (firing three times from a cannon).
