The Full Testimony
Testimony of
Rotem Almog
Rotem Almog went to a Nova party with eight friends. When the rocket fire started, he and two friends began to flee in their car. They encountered terrorists who shot at the vehicle and wounded Rotem's friend. Rotem used his shirt as a compression bandage and left the car to help other people, but when the shooting started again, he ran into the field. A terrorist on an ATV chased after him but was unable to hit him. Rotem found a hole and hid in it for about six hours. When he came out of the pit, he saw an IDF helicopter, and Rotem waved at him, but the helicopter did not notice him.
