Israeli elderly man’s life saved in attack
He told that at around 6.30 in the morning the sound of siren was heard after which he went to the security room. After this, a call came from the couple’s daughter in which she told that the situation in the area has gone out of control and all the doors of the house should be closed. Savita, who has been working in Israel for three years, said that after some time she heard the sound of terrorists entering the house. During this, sounds of firing and breaking of glass were heard. He said that we called his daughter again and asked what to do. He asked us to hold the handle of the door of the security room.
Kept fighting the attackers
Savita said that both of us held the handle for about four and a half hours while the attackers were firing bullets demanding to open the door. He said that terrorists had entered our house at 7.30 in the morning. He ruined everything in the house. We don’t know what was going on in the house. At about one o’clock we heard more gunfire. The elderly man told that the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have come to save us. He said that after the IDF arrived, they all went outside and saw that the items inside the house had been destroyed and looted. They have nothing, even Meera’s passport was looted. Savita said that neither of them had seen such a scene before.
