What happened?
The now deceased?parents Itai and Hadar Berdichevsky, both 30, hid their 10-month-old twins, who were found alive hours later, according to reports.?The couple, who hid their babies in a bomb shelter, tried to fight off the terrorists but were murdered, according to Israeli outlet Walla.
Israeli troops rescued the unharmed babies about 14 hours later and handed them to their grandmother.
Where and when?
They were attacked in their home in Kfar Gaza, a kibbutz in southern Israel located about three miles east of Gaza, the news outlet reported.
How did they save them?
The couple only had mere seconds to react when they heard the gunmen trying to knock down their front door. The terrified parents frantically bundled their two babies into a hidden shelter moments before the Hamas terrorists stormed into their home, the Israeli ambassador to Colombia Gali Dagan revealed.
Astonishingly, their two babies were found and rescued by Israeli soldiers after being left alone for about 14 hours, Dagan said, hailing the couple as 'heroes' who did 'everything they could to save their children'.
Itai and Hadar are now among the more than 700 Israelis who have been killed by Hamas terrorists, after the gunmen launched a surprise assault on Israel at the weekend.
British family hid for 9 hours in a safe room
In another harrowing incident, a British family living in Israel hid with their 10-day-old baby inside a safe room for nine hours while Hamas burned down their home and destroyed their village near the Gaza Strip, according to a report.
Aimee and Uriel Labban, UK Israeli citizens were leading a normal life, raising their newborn son, Kai, in Nirim.
¡°They ran straight to the safe room. They can literally hear the terrorists,¡± relative Russell Langer told the UK outlet. ¡± [The] room has been filled with smoke, so they basically lifted the baby up to the window to get fresh air.¡±
The Labbans, along with grandmother Deborah Mintz, weathered the terror for nine hours, fearing that they would be killed if they tried to flee the safe room.
Langer said he stayed in contact with the family via text, learning about how close the terrorists were to them and the death of the family¡¯s beloved dog, Mickey.
Fortunately, the Labbans were able to wait out the terrorists and were eventually rescued by the IDF, who escorted the family and neighbors to a shelter.
