Testimony Excerpt
From Jhonatan ben naim's testimony: "The team from Shlomit, 15 km from us, did not have to come. They did it with a huge heart. People I owe my life to and the life of my family." | "Then I said: How do I kill them all? You know who everyone is, not the terrorists, without them feeling it." | "On the other hand, there was some sort of calm. There was no fear; there was nothing. Some kind of inner knowledge that it will end well" | "I thought all hope was last. Suddenly, there was silence. The fire did not light; the ignition fuse did not explode, and there was silence.""
The Full Testimony
Testimony of
Jhonatan Ben Naim
The house of Yehonatan Ben Naim from Moshav Pri Gan was targeted by a terrorist squad that entered the settlement. The family gathered in the safe room, and Yehonatan and his son, armed with weapons, returned fire and shot at the attackers through the slits of the shutters. Amidst the gunfire, he heard the sound of a fuse being ignited and gasoline being spilled. He thought all hope was lost, but there was silence instead; the ignition failed. Members of the civil guard arrived, fought the attackers, and repelled the attack.
