This is Eden, she was at a party in Kibbutz Beeri on the night of October 7 before she was kidnapped by Hamas militants
🗣 Shani Yerushalmi, sister of Eden Yerushalmi, from Tel Aviv told Sputnik what has happened:
"On Saturday, October 7th, at approximately 7:20 a.m., Eden called both me and our mom. She frantically screamed that they were being shot at. In the background, we could hear the sound of gunfire and people screaming. Filled with panic, we urged Eden to run away and attempted to assist her over the phone. Initially, she took refuge in a car, where she discovered two corpses.
Over the course of the next four hours, we maintained communication with Eden. She spent roughly an hour and a half hiding in the vehicle before seeking shelter in the bushes. Moments before Hamas discovered her whereabouts, we spoke briefly. She managed to alert us that she had been captured.
Unfortunately, the state and the army took a considerable amount of time to react. We talked with her for four hours, anxiously listening to the sound of gunshots in the background. Both my mother and I speculated that a confrontation was occurring between our army and the terrorists due to the frequency of the gunfire. No military personnel arrived during that time. Some individuals spent hours hiding in the bushes until help finally arrived. Regrettably, Eden's ordeal lasted only four hours before she was abducted. The authorities offered no more than an official notification regarding her abduction..."

🗣 "I am aware that there are individuals who support the Palestinians and condemn Israel. However, I firmly believe that Israel has the right to protect itself from terrorist threats. Hamas claims to not be a terrorist organization, denying involvement in any acts of terrorism. Yet, what kind of organization kidnaps innocent children, women, and neighbors? If they are truly not terrorists, then they should prove it by releasing all those they have kidnapped. It's a matter of simple logic that no one should support terrorism, regardless of their feelings towards Israel. Supporting Hamas means endorsing terrorism," she added.
