The Iron Lions

"We were awakened by sirens. We are accustomed to experiencing this nightmare, but we quickly realized that this was a very different experience. At some point, terrorists were announced to have entered the settlement." In Moshe's conversation with N12, he says, "I heard very loud knocking at the door of the house, and I told Diana: "They're inside the house, they're here," He added, "We felt that they were dismantling the house, breaking glass, overturning tables - knocking everything over. Despite their best efforts, we managed to hold down the door so that they would not open, but then they shot into the lock and it opened. As we tried to prevent their entry, we absorbed the bundle of shots with our hands, and we were injured." A squad of five terrorists broke into the house and kidnapped the couple across the separation fence: "We were led outside the shelter by the attackers, who told us to follow them to the Gaza Strip. Instead of walking on the kibbutz paths, we walked among bushes and trees to avoid being caught. After reaching the fence, the fence had been breached. They told us to be quiet, they signaled with a hand on our neck that if we spoke it would be the end of us." During their time in Gaza, the couple gathers courage and resists being kidnapped: "We dared to tell the terrorists that we would not be returning to Gaza." "We told him that we were bleeding and needed to go to the hospital," Moshe and Diana say. 'We demanded an ambulance, we needed a doctor,' But the leader of the squad did not accept it. Following the conversation, the unbelievable happened, and the Hamas squad said, "Okay, go." The couple walked away skeptically from the scene. "I said 'Ambulance Hospital' and he replied, 'Sierra, Gaza.'" The two walked away skeptically: "We turned around and left. We were afraid of him shooting us during those long seconds. We didn't turn around to see what he was doing or if he crossed the fence and we arrived at what used to be our house, which no longer exists." A long journey was taken by the inseparable couple, who lived together for fifty years on the kibbutz. Almost a day passed between when they escaped the terrorists and when they arrived at Hadassah Mount Scopus Hospital in Jerusalem for treatment. : "The couple suffered hand injuries and are now recovering. Mrs. Kendel, director of the orthopedics department at Hadassah Mount Scopus, described. I explained this to the couple, but Diana said that as long as Moshe stays, she wants to stay with him and that is fine with us. Mrs. Rosen will soon be able to go home, but Moshe will need to stay with us to continue receiving treatment.
