I cannot breathe, I cannot sleep.
My heart aches.

“A 9-year-old boy and a 6-year-old girl hide for 14 hours in a closet. No food, no water, no parents, almost no breathing.
This is not a story from the holocaust. This is a true story from Kfar Gaza last Saturday.
Michael (9), Amalia (6) and Abigail (4) the children of my good friend Idan (YNET photographer) and Samdar were at home with their mother.
Father Roy, went out to photograph and even managed to video the terrorists on the paragliders.
When he returned home, the terrorists were already there. They entered his house, shot his wife Samdar and killed her.
The children ran out to him.
He managed to pick up little Abigail (4) and that was the moment the terrorists surprised him.
They shot him and seriously wounded him.
Michael (9) and Amelia (6) ran to hide in a shelter, Abigail (4) ran to the house of Avichai the neighbor and he let her in and saved her life then.
From there Avihai went to join the emergency squad of the Kibutz.
When he briefly returned home, he found that they were all gone (the family that rescued Abigail was kidnapped with her and the other children were hiding).
Meanwhile Michael (9) and Amelia (6) called the police and the operator told them to hide in the closet.
On the other side of the country, Roy's brother Amit, already realized that something bad was happening at home. He called again and again and then little Amalia (6) answered him: "The terrorist killed mom and dad, but don't worry the army is on the way," a six-year-old girl with the composure of a warrior.
Amit instructed the children to stay in the closet and they, these two little ones, who already know they have lost both their parents, behave with indescribable heroism.
From 7am until 9pm they were inside the closet. 14 hours!
No food, no water.
They didn't say a word.
At 9pm, Amit (the uncle) finally managed to direct the forces to the house. They knocked on the door but there was no answer. They tried again and all was quiet. silence. Amit told them, shout Amit, maybe they are afraid to come out. The forces shouted to them: "It's Amit" and then Michael (9) and Amelia (6) ran to them. They survived the inferno.
They know that their mother will not return and pray that their father, who has not yet been located, survived the serious injury and that Abigail (4) will return home. She’s missing.
Let's bring Abigail home 🙏🙏🙏”
