In a tragic incident, a young Israeli couple, both 30 years old, were killed by Hamas militants who invaded their residence. However, before their untimely demise, the couple managed to safeguard their 10-month-old twins by hiding them in a bomb shelter. The infants were discovered unharmed approximately 14 hours later, as per multiple sources.
The couple, Itai and Hadar Berdichevsky, resided in Kfar Gaza, a kibbutz situated three miles east of Gaza in southern Israel. Despite their valiant efforts to fend off the attackers, they were ultimately killed. The twins were later rescued by Israeli forces and handed over to their grandmother.
The assault, which took place on Saturday, is considered an unprecedented act of violence by Hamas, resulting in over 1,000 casualties on both sides. The Islamist group’s fighters are responsible for the deaths of at least 800 Israelis, injuring around 2,000, and abducting several more in what is being described as the deadliest attack on Israeli communities since the Yom Kippur War in 1973.
The Berdichevsky couple’s heroic act of hiding their twins before their tragic end has touched hearts worldwide. The infants were found unharmed and are now under the care of their grandmother.
In a separate incident, a music festival, the Tribe of Nova, turned into a scene of horror when heavily armed terrorists crossed the Gaza Strip border using paragliders, resulting in the death of at least 260 people.
The recent surge in violence has raised international concerns, with calls for immediate cessation of hostilities and protection of civilians, especially children, becoming increasingly urgent.
