As Hamas torched their home, mom told her daughter: 'I am sorry, we are about to die'

[Beastly Boy]

As terrorists overran the kibbutz, Daniella, Emilia, her sister Sharon, brother-in-law David Cunio, and their 3-year-old twin daughters, Yuli and Emma all sought refuge in the family’s secure room, which was designed to withstand a rocket strike, but that did not have a lock on the door.

They knew that terrorists had infiltrated the kibbutz and they could hear the sounds of shots being fired outside. They then heard sounds of their home being ransacked, but the terrorists were unable to open the door to the secure room as David was holding it shut.Instead, the terrorists set the building on fire. David took Yulia and climbed out of the room’s window, hoping to escape. They were both captured by terrorists.

She told Channel 12 that she hugged her daughter Emilia to her, and said: “My love, I am sorry, we are about to die.” Then together with Sharon, they opened the window of the shelter “and I waited for the volley of shots.”

They reached the border and were met by crowds of Gazan civilians who began beating those in the trailer as they drove past. Danielle said she threw her arms around the two young girls and tried to shield them as she was beaten on the head.

Aloni recalled her daughter calming her down as she suffered through a panic attack. “I screamed, ‘I’m going to die here! I’m going to die here! I’m going to die here!’ Those were the only words that came out. I felt that I was going to die there. My daughter patted my face, ‘Mom, don’t cry, I’m okay, I’m okay.’ Because each time I saw she was in distress, I started to cry, so she comforted me.”

6. Many have issues with Hamas but the attack is

within eyeshot of what moms are great approval levels are here. Like 70%, with some of the 30 disagreeing tactically not strategically or ethically.

I love ice cream but will almost always pass on chocolate.
There is a percentage that just don't care for the specific flavor or brand but want a stand of their choice on every corner.

7. the 'don't support Hamas' thing is largely misconstrued -(nt)-

9. Sorry...this shows the idea that some but not all those in GAZA don't support this horror...is a myth.

[Sky Jewels]

10. Oh, really, the actions of one group of people prove that ALL

of the hundreds of thousands of Gazans support Hamas?

5. Can't imagine the fear.

Hamas needs to be destroyed.
