“Of a young lady who is trying to hide, and she finds herself in front of a burial of a terrorist and it just shoots her. And another young Israeli man who is talking to his father, his father David, is the commander of Arswin, of the elite unit of the Israeli police, and his father is already trying to tackle the terrorists, and his son is calling him and he says, dead, they are shooting me. And then his father hears Arabic voices. And he understands that his son was killed, and his father keeps fighting for days until the funeral starts. And you hear the story of a young filmmaker, who was best friend with a young person that I know. And you hear that he distracted the terrorists for a second in his kibbutz so that his young wife and their baby will be able to run away. She spends the next”

“Yeah, although I'm not in news reporting, we are doing investigative news And so I was glued to the news reporting for, I guess, the whole first day. And then we started to work and going down to the south and starting to understand what happens. And I got to tell you, David, both us, like almost every Israeli, we spent the first day asking ourselves, can we find words? Can we find words to describe the fact that terrorists Hamas stormed into houses? In a kibbutz, I was there by now. I was there in Berri and Karaza and Reim. I was there where a party, a music festival was interrupted by hundreds of terrorist shooting all over the place. Young people celebrating music and life and peace and freedom, and we try to find words for the story.”

“In the reserve serving in the military, they are back here. She is bearing her first son, and they are both here. And so it took us David not long. I guess perhaps an hour for the first videos to come out from a small town in the south, who is very close to the Gaza border. And you could see the vans.

And you know, in terms of schedule, it's relatively easy 6:30 sirens go off all over Israel, from the north to the south. But it sounds like a rocket attack. And even people in the south on the Gaza border are those who ended up spending twenty-four thirty-three hours in the shelters, terrified to death because terrorists were flooding their kibbutzim and their Moshavim and their communities. Even them thought that, you know, it's going to end in a couple of minutes. We go into the shelter. There's a, you know, calming alarm that everything is over. Iron dome is protecting us. The IDF is protecting us. Everything is going to be fine. I woke up because my daughter texted me from New York. She's there because her husband is starting the master's degree in law in Columbia University. By now he's here.”
