October 7

It started like any ordinary Saturday morning...

It started like any ordinary Saturday morning in southern Israel. Families were still waking up. Children played. There was a music festival in the desert—people dancing under the early sun.
But just after dawn… a sound tore through the calm.

These are three stories from Kibbutz Be'eri taking place on October 7th.

00:00:04.480 --> 00:00:09.439
Tapes from the Dark Side contains descriptions of violence and sexuality.

2
00:00:09.919 --> 00:00:30.679
Listener discretion is advised. It started like any ordinary Saturday

3
00:00:30.719 --> 00:00:36.000
morning in southern Israel. Families were still waking up, children played.

4
00:00:36.679 --> 00:00:40.240
There was a music festival in the desert, people dancing

5
00:00:40.399 --> 00:00:45.840
under the early sun. But just after dawn, a sound

6
00:00:46.159 --> 00:00:50.119
tore through the calm. Thousands of rockets fired from the

7
00:00:50.159 --> 00:00:55.520
Gaza Strip overwhelmed Israel's Iron Dome defense system. Cities and

8
00:00:55.600 --> 00:00:59.039
towns across the south were hit. People ran for cover,

9
00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:04.079
confusus and spreading faster than the blasts themselves. And then

10
00:01:04.840 --> 00:01:12.439
something no one expected, motorized paragliders, small, silent carrying armed militants.

11
00:01:12.879 --> 00:01:17.280
It was a surreal scene to behold dozens of Hamas

12
00:01:17.359 --> 00:01:22.640
fighters soaring over the border wall, empowered gliders dropping into

13
00:01:22.760 --> 00:01:27.400
israel territory with deadly precision. At the same time, others

14
00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:31.239
breached the border fence on the ground, storming into towns

15
00:01:31.239 --> 00:01:36.480
and villages. They attacked homes, kidnapped civilians, and gun down

16
00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:42.200
festival goers who had nowhere to run. The scenes were brutal, devastating,

17
00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:47.400
and broadcasts across the world in real time. Hamas themselves

18
00:01:47.439 --> 00:01:50.560
had recorded the damage they had done. They wore go

19
00:01:50.799 --> 00:01:54.640
pros and carried cameras with them. They wanted everyone to

20
00:01:54.760 --> 00:01:58.319
know of the atrocities they committed that day, and by

21
00:01:58.359 --> 00:02:01.560
the time the day was over, over one thousand lives

22
00:02:01.599 --> 00:02:06.480
were lost, Entire communities were shattered. Israel launched a full

23
00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:10.919
scale military response, beginning what would become one of the

24
00:02:10.919 --> 00:02:16.159
most intense escalations in the region in decades. October seventh

25
00:02:16.319 --> 00:02:19.840
wasn't just an attack. It was a turning point, a

26
00:02:19.919 --> 00:02:23.879
moment where everything changed, and the ripple effects are still

27
00:02:23.919 --> 00:02:28.159
being felled across the Middle East. Today we will be

28
00:02:28.280 --> 00:02:33.120
examining the attack on one Israeli village, or more accurately

29
00:02:33.240 --> 00:02:36.639
called a kibbutz. Before we dive in, I want to

30
00:02:36.719 --> 00:02:40.560
explain what exactly is a kibbutz. But before we even

31
00:02:40.639 --> 00:02:44.000
do that, I want to offer a brief disclaimer. While

32
00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:47.280
today's focus will be on the events of October seventh,

33
00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:50.080
I want to make it clear that this is not

34
00:02:50.159 --> 00:02:54.199
an attempt to downplay or ignore the terror faced by

35
00:02:54.240 --> 00:02:59.000
Palestinian civilians, nor is in an excuse for the atrocities

36
00:02:59.039 --> 00:03:05.479
committed by Israe leadership against Palestinians. I fully acknowledge the pain, loss,

37
00:03:05.520 --> 00:03:09.280
and suffering experienced by them as well, and in a

38
00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:13.639
later episode we may even dive into their complex history

39
00:03:13.719 --> 00:03:19.840
and trauma. So what is a kibbutz? The term kibbutz

40
00:03:19.919 --> 00:03:24.120
comes from the Hebrew word for gathering. Kibbutzim are a

41
00:03:24.159 --> 00:03:28.439
distinct form of communal living found only in Israel, with

42
00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:32.199
around two hundred and seventy of them scattered throughout the country.

43
00:03:32.759 --> 00:03:37.240
At their core, these kibbutzim function like small towns, typically

44
00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:41.319
home to between one hundred and one thousand people. Traditionally

45
00:03:41.400 --> 00:03:45.120
they're based on collective farming, but many have evolved to

46
00:03:45.159 --> 00:03:50.039
focus on modern industries and even tourism. Kibbutzim are deeply

47
00:03:50.120 --> 00:03:54.520
rooted in Socialists and Marxist principles of communal life. The

48
00:03:54.599 --> 00:04:00.919
early kibbutzim represented bold experiments in radical democracy. Living in

49
00:04:00.960 --> 00:04:05.120
a kibbutz offers a unique blend of community, routine, and

50
00:04:05.199 --> 00:04:09.520
shared responsibility. A typical day might begin with an early

51
00:04:09.599 --> 00:04:13.400
breakfast in the communal dining hall, followed by a few

52
00:04:13.439 --> 00:04:18.000
hours of work, perhaps in agriculture, a local factory, or

53
00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:24.560
running guest accommodations. Afternoons might include shared childcare duties, study,

54
00:04:24.879 --> 00:04:28.519
or even leisure time with people gathering for coffee or

55
00:04:28.519 --> 00:04:34.480
a swim at the communal pool. Evenings often involve community events, music,

56
00:04:34.639 --> 00:04:39.160
or casual gatherings under the stars. Daily life is very

57
00:04:39.240 --> 00:04:43.839
much shaped by cooperation, a slower pace, and a strong

58
00:04:43.959 --> 00:04:48.319
sense of belonging. Kibbutzen be Erie, which is the one

59
00:04:48.360 --> 00:04:52.360
we will be focusing on today, is located in southern Israel,

60
00:04:52.480 --> 00:04:57.519
near the Gaza border, and was established officially on October sixth,

61
00:04:57.839 --> 00:05:01.480
nineteen forty six, as part of of the Eleven Points

62
00:05:01.560 --> 00:05:05.959
of the Negev initiative. Founded by members of a youth movement,

63
00:05:06.079 --> 00:05:09.680
the kibbutz was later joined by Jewish immigrants from Iraq,

64
00:05:10.279 --> 00:05:15.439
including survivors of the nineteen forty one Farhud pogrim in Baghdad.

65
00:05:16.439 --> 00:05:20.040
The Farhud was a violent anti Jewish pogram that took

66
00:05:20.120 --> 00:05:23.839
place in Baghdad in nineteen forty one, during which hundreds

67
00:05:23.839 --> 00:05:27.439
of Jews were killed or injured and homes and businesses

68
00:05:27.480 --> 00:05:31.360
were looted and destroyed amid a brief pro Nazi coup

69
00:05:31.439 --> 00:05:35.800
in Iraq. In its early years, be Erie focused on

70
00:05:35.920 --> 00:05:41.480
land reclamation and agriculture. Over time, it's developed a robust economy,

71
00:05:41.920 --> 00:05:45.480
notably through its printing press, which became a significant source

72
00:05:45.519 --> 00:05:49.879
of income. The views of people living in Israeli kibbutzim,

73
00:05:50.279 --> 00:05:54.040
especially near the Gaza Strip, are nuanced and shaped by

74
00:05:54.079 --> 00:05:58.959
decades of both idealism and trauma. They were supposed to

75
00:05:58.959 --> 00:06:04.639
be places of peace, quiet, communal, idealistic. The kibutzim of

76
00:06:04.680 --> 00:06:08.720
southern Israel, just miles from the Gaza Strip, stood for

77
00:06:08.800 --> 00:06:14.120
something rare in this region, hope. For decades, these collective

78
00:06:14.120 --> 00:06:19.519
communities clung to a vision, a vision of coexistence, of dialogue,

79
00:06:19.920 --> 00:06:26.160
of peace. These were not frontline soldiers. They were farmers, teachers,

80
00:06:26.519 --> 00:06:31.439
peace activists, people who had long spoken up for Palestinian rights,

81
00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:37.319
people who believed in humanity. But now everything had changed.

82
00:06:38.279 --> 00:06:41.920
Before the attack, many in the kibbutzim opposed net Nyahu's

83
00:06:41.959 --> 00:06:47.040
hardline policies. They spoke out against Israeli occupation of the

84
00:06:47.079 --> 00:06:50.639
West Bank. Some had even worked side by side with

85
00:06:50.759 --> 00:06:56.879
Palestinians from Gaza, employing them, supporting them, even sharing holidays.

86
00:06:56.920 --> 00:07:02.279
Before the blockade, these people or the bridge, But now

87
00:07:02.879 --> 00:07:13.040
that bridge was about to be set on fire. Before

88
00:07:13.079 --> 00:07:16.279
we dive into the meat of today's story, I want

89
00:07:16.319 --> 00:07:19.040

00:08:29.720 --> 00:08:32.200
Don't go anywhere.

111
00:08:40.080 --> 00:08:42.720
Part one, The Baker Family.

112
00:08:43.759 --> 00:08:47.120
It was five point fifty seven am on a Saturday morning.

113
00:08:47.879 --> 00:08:51.440
The sky was just beginning to brighten, the haze of

114
00:08:51.480 --> 00:08:56.879
twilight engulf the town. The air was still. At the

115
00:08:57.080 --> 00:09:00.600
entrance to Kibbutz ba Arie, a yellow the metal gate

116
00:09:00.720 --> 00:09:05.759
stood closed behind it, a quiet village still waking, And

117
00:09:05.799 --> 00:09:23.799
then it began armed Hamas militants arrived. Suddenly they were

118
00:09:23.840 --> 00:09:27.960
at the yellow gate, automatic rifles slung across their chests

119
00:09:28.320 --> 00:09:34.399
Kalishnikov's or also known as Ak forty seven's. One of

120
00:09:34.440 --> 00:09:36.960
them smashed the window of the guard station with the

121
00:09:36.960 --> 00:09:40.120
butt of his gun. The booth was empty, and he

122
00:09:40.200 --> 00:09:45.200
climbed inside. Another attacker lay camouflaged in the nearby trees,

123
00:09:45.919 --> 00:09:52.080
hidden waiting. Approximately twenty seconds later, a dark race sedan

124
00:09:52.159 --> 00:09:57.159
approached the gate. Inside was Ben, a yahoo Bitan twenty

125
00:09:57.240 --> 00:10:00.360
two years old, and two of his friends. They had

126
00:10:00.399 --> 00:10:03.480
spent the night dancing at a rave just two miles away,

127
00:10:04.200 --> 00:10:07.919
but now the rave was under attack and they were fleeing.

128
00:10:08.519 --> 00:10:13.200
They looked terrified. They were trying to find safety. They

129
00:10:13.240 --> 00:10:16.600
thought they'd found it at the entrance to bey Arie,

130
00:10:16.639 --> 00:10:19.919
but their lives were tragically about to come to an end.

131
00:10:22.879 --> 00:10:26.480
As the gate had begun to slide open. Benayahu didn't

132
00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:30.159
see the second gunman stepped from the shadows. He didn't

133
00:10:30.159 --> 00:10:34.960
see the rifle raised, bullets tore into the car. Bena

134
00:10:35.039 --> 00:10:39.039
Yahoo jerked in his seat and then went still. His

135
00:10:39.200 --> 00:10:44.519
friends also lifeless beside him, and then the car crept forward,

136
00:10:44.799 --> 00:10:48.840
ghost like through the open gate. It rolled twenty yards

137
00:10:48.919 --> 00:10:53.519
into the kibbutz and then stopped. Three young lives gone

138
00:10:53.639 --> 00:10:57.799
in an instant, and with that the massacre of bee

139
00:10:57.799 --> 00:11:04.799
Arie had begun. Once the gates were breached, hamas flooded

140
00:11:04.799 --> 00:11:08.559
the outpost. Over the next few minutes, over one hundred

141
00:11:08.679 --> 00:11:13.679
terrorists entered the Kibbutz Behri on foot. First, we will

142
00:11:13.720 --> 00:11:18.759
examine the tragic fate of the Baker family. Avida, fifty

143
00:11:18.840 --> 00:11:22.399
years old, was patriarch of the family. His wife Dana

144
00:11:22.600 --> 00:11:26.200
two years is younger, and with them two of their children,

145
00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:33.200
Carmel male fifteen years old and Hadar female thirteen years old.

146
00:11:33.799 --> 00:11:37.960
We will hear firsthand testimony from the father, Avida and

147
00:11:38.000 --> 00:11:43.159
his barely teenage daughter Adar. First, Avida recounts the moment

148
00:11:43.240 --> 00:11:50.159
they knew something was wrong. Shevokatva komashnya six thirty am.

149
00:11:50.399 --> 00:11:53.120
My wife and I are upstairs. We hear the missile

150
00:11:53.200 --> 00:11:56.799
sirens and gunfire from outside, and we say to each other,

151
00:11:57.399 --> 00:12:03.000
this isn't something. This isn't the same. We go into

152
00:12:03.039 --> 00:12:05.879
the safe room and decide to lock ourselves in and

153
00:12:05.960 --> 00:12:12.159
keep the door shut. We hear open the door and

154
00:12:12.200 --> 00:12:15.480
I tell him go away in Arabic, and he's trying

155
00:12:15.519 --> 00:12:18.480
to open the door and I resist and I tell

156
00:12:18.559 --> 00:12:24.159
him go away, it's just children, go away. And before

157
00:12:24.200 --> 00:12:26.679
I know it, we get hit by a burst from

158
00:12:26.720 --> 00:12:31.519
a Kalishna cough. Carmel's arm flies off. His arm flies

159
00:12:31.559 --> 00:12:39.120
off like crazy. There's blood everywhere, and Hadar tells him, Carmel,

160
00:12:39.480 --> 00:12:45.080
stay with us. You're not leaving us no way, and

161
00:12:45.279 --> 00:12:48.159
he tells me again open the door, and then I

162
00:12:48.200 --> 00:12:51.840
get hit by another burst. The door almost flies off

163
00:12:51.879 --> 00:12:55.600
with shrapnel and fire and I get hit. My legs

164
00:12:56.639 --> 00:13:02.960

166
00:13:07.799 --> 00:13:17.759

We love you all. We love you all so much. Bye. Eventually,

172
00:13:55.799 --> 00:13:58.919
Dana got hit from the Kalishna cough. I heard her

173
00:13:58.960 --> 00:14:04.159
go out of I can't breathe, and she passed out.

174
00:14:05.279 --> 00:14:09.039
At this point, I tell Hadar listen, Mommy doesn't feel anything.

175
00:14:09.080 --> 00:14:14.639
Now I feel Dana and she's cold. That's it. She's

176
00:14:14.679 --> 00:14:19.759
out of the game. I tell Hadar, listen, we need

177
00:14:19.799 --> 00:14:23.720
to focus on Carmel. At this point, we go back

178
00:14:23.759 --> 00:14:27.519
to the WhatsApp group chat again. These messages are all

179
00:14:27.600 --> 00:14:35.080
from Hadar. Please help us. They threw three grenades at us.

180
00:14:35.120 --> 00:14:42.120
Please help us. We're dying here. Please hold on. I can't.

181

smoke everywhere. I love you all. We love you all.

your eyes. Mommy, stay with us. My foot is injured,

Adar? Is there a closet next to you that you

208
00:16:32.159 --> 00:16:32.639

210
00:16:41.480 --> 00:16:45.159

text Adar.

212
00:16:47.559 --> 00:16:53.039
Hidar, it's nine one one. Can you chat with me here? Hadar?

213
00:16:53.200 --> 00:16:55.639
Please crawl to the closet. We have to save the

214
00:16:55.679 --> 00:16:58.559
blood he has left from the dar.

215
00:16:59.399 --> 00:17:03.279
I can't move nine one one?

216
00:17:03.600 --> 00:17:05.519
Can you pull the sheet under your dad?

217
00:17:07.640 --> 00:17:10.720
That is the last bit of communication we have between

218
00:17:10.799 --> 00:17:15.000
nine one one and Hadar. Dana and Carmel died in

219
00:17:15.039 --> 00:17:19.599
the safe room. Hadar and Avida were rescued many hours later.

220
00:17:20.119 --> 00:17:23.119
The medical staff were forced to amputate a Vita's leg

221
00:17:23.880 --> 00:17:29.960
from Avida. I'm spilling. I can hear Carmel telling me, Dad,

222
00:17:30.119 --> 00:17:33.799
I only want one thing. Bury me with my surfboard.

223
00:17:38.480 --> 00:17:43.640
Fast forward to October twenty fourth, twenty twenty three. A

224
00:17:43.720 --> 00:17:48.160
hushed crowd gathers under gray skies. The silence is thick,

225
00:17:48.519 --> 00:17:52.440
broken only by the soft rustle of wind through eucalyptus

226
00:17:52.559 --> 00:17:56.720
leaves and the muffled sobs of mourners. Two coffins lie

227
00:17:56.839 --> 00:18:01.759
side by side, one small, one larger. A Vida Bakar,

228
00:18:02.279 --> 00:18:06.039
pale and hollowed eyed, arrives in a wheelchair. His leg

229
00:18:06.160 --> 00:18:11.039
is gone, his world shattered. His daughters Hadar and Nafar

230
00:18:11.559 --> 00:18:15.160
steady him as he's rolled towards the fresh graves. He

231
00:18:15.240 --> 00:18:18.279
grips their hands, trying to stay upright. In more ways

232
00:18:18.319 --> 00:18:24.839
than one. On the smaller coffin rests a surfboard, sun faded,

233
00:18:25.200 --> 00:18:29.680
wax worn, Carmel's board, The fifteen year old boy who

234
00:18:29.680 --> 00:18:33.960
at once carved waves with effortless joy, his last wish

235
00:18:34.359 --> 00:18:39.319
to be buried with it. A rabbi speaks, but the

236
00:18:39.359 --> 00:18:44.480
words are distant. Friends and strangers step forward, placing roses

237
00:18:44.480 --> 00:18:48.799
on the caskets. One by one. Petals fall like echoes,

238
00:18:49.519 --> 00:18:53.960
like memory. This is not just a funeral. It's a

239
00:18:54.000 --> 00:18:58.400
farewell to innocence, to a mother and son torn from life,

240
00:18:58.960 --> 00:19:02.960
to a home that one stood peaceful, now a scarred

241
00:19:03.039 --> 00:19:11.240
monument to grief. When we come back, we'll examine the

242
00:19:11.319 --> 00:19:27.680
Shosh Family story. Don't Go Anywhere, Part two, The Shosh Family.

243
00:19:28.920 --> 00:19:32.279
The story of the Shosh family also takes place in

244
00:19:32.319 --> 00:19:36.680
the Kibbutz of Brie. After the massive rocket launch and

245
00:19:36.720 --> 00:19:41.160
the arrival of terrorists on foot, Noi, aged thirty seven,

246
00:19:41.480 --> 00:19:45.160
and his wife Mchole aged thirty five, entered the safe

247
00:19:45.240 --> 00:19:49.079
room of their house with their three young children, ages two,

248
00:19:49.599 --> 00:19:54.839
four and six. Amas terrorists enter the house and shoot

249
00:19:54.839 --> 00:19:57.480
the safe room door in an attempt to break in.

250
00:19:58.160 --> 00:20:01.400
Nei was shot and critically in while holding the door

251
00:20:01.559 --> 00:20:05.039
in an attempt to block them. These are the recordings

252
00:20:05.160 --> 00:20:09.000
of mother and wife McCole during the events that followed

253
00:20:09.920 --> 00:20:14.759
from the by Mother's group chat on WhatsApp from McCole,

254
00:20:15.079 --> 00:20:21.519
aged thirty five, mother of three. Someone's in the house.

255
00:20:21.680 --> 00:20:27.680
They're trying to open No one came to help. They're

256
00:20:27.720 --> 00:20:34.000
trying to get in. They're messing with the door. I

257
00:20:34.200 --> 00:20:42.160
don't know what they're doing. I think something is being

258
00:20:42.200 --> 00:20:45.200
set on fire. We have smoke in the safe room.

259
00:20:45.480 --> 00:20:51.079
Smoke in the safe room. We have a lot of

260
00:20:51.119 --> 00:20:54.400
smoke and we can't move. Please if someone can help.

261
00:20:54.559 --> 00:21:00.359
They're trying to break in again. The safe room door

262
00:21:00.440 --> 00:21:07.559
is open. We have fire. We're being burned alive. We

263
00:21:07.599 --> 00:21:12.759
can't breathe here. Next we have McColl's call with nine

264
00:21:12.839 --> 00:21:19.279
one one. Mcole. I need help. Operator.

265
00:21:19.640 --> 00:21:22.240
I know. First of all, tell me where you are

266
00:21:22.279 --> 00:21:24.119
in the mcole.

267
00:21:24.400 --> 00:21:25.319
How's eighty four?

268
00:21:25.799 --> 00:21:30.160
Your surname Shosh Shosh? Who got hurt? And when.

269
00:21:31.920 --> 00:21:35.240
My husband was heard about twenty minutes ago, wounded in

270
00:21:35.279 --> 00:21:35.759
the gut?

271
00:21:36.160 --> 00:21:37.119
How old is he?

272
00:21:37.599 --> 00:21:40.680
Thirty seven? Wounded in the back, wounded in the gut,

273
00:21:40.920 --> 00:21:47.279
wounded in the hand, Operator.

274
00:21:46.960 --> 00:21:49.680
I see the only one mcole, a.

275
00:21:49.599 --> 00:21:53.079
Bad hand wound. I also need. We can't breathe here.

276
00:21:53.599 --> 00:21:54.920
He's having trouble breathing.

277
00:21:55.480 --> 00:21:59.079
They're smoking the house. He can't breathe. They set fire here.

278
00:21:59.440 --> 00:22:03.200
The kids can can't breathe. He can't breathe. I can't breathe.

279
00:22:03.880 --> 00:22:08.240
I see he's going to pass out. Then NOI speaks

280
00:22:08.319 --> 00:22:11.519
up for the first time on the call. NOI, we

281
00:22:11.599 --> 00:22:12.519
need help now.

282
00:22:13.559 --> 00:22:18.160
I know, I know, I know you need help urgently.

283
00:22:18.359 --> 00:22:21.200
I know, Mchole. The kids can't breathe.

284
00:22:21.680 --> 00:22:24.559
The ambulance can't get to you. That's why I want

285
00:22:24.599 --> 00:22:26.240
you to do what I say.

286
00:22:26.359 --> 00:22:29.720
The smoke here is so thick. I don't have a signal,

287
00:22:29.759 --> 00:22:31.359
and I'm out of battery.

288
00:22:31.680 --> 00:22:39.079
No battery.

289
00:22:39.279 --> 00:22:43.240
Suddenly the phone went dead. Inside the safe room, the

290
00:22:43.319 --> 00:22:48.000
air was thick, hot, heavy, choking smoke crept in through

291
00:22:48.039 --> 00:22:51.160
the cracks, wrapping itself around the family like a noose.

292
00:22:53.880 --> 00:22:57.240
Mchole was holding the tourniquet tight on her husband. It

293
00:22:57.359 --> 00:23:01.119
was the only thing keeping NOI alive. He was bleeding out.

294
00:23:01.519 --> 00:23:04.279
The door was blocked and it was filling with smoke.

295
00:23:04.799 --> 00:23:08.559
A decision had to be made, a decision that no

296
00:23:08.599 --> 00:23:12.359
one should ever have to make hold the tourniquet and

297
00:23:12.400 --> 00:23:15.480
save her husband or let go of the tourniquet and

298
00:23:15.559 --> 00:23:20.039
open the window so her children wouldn't suffocate. Noi looked

299
00:23:20.039 --> 00:23:25.000
at her, he knew they said their final goodbyes. McCole

300
00:23:25.079 --> 00:23:31.279
opened the window and saved her children's lives. Noy's body

301
00:23:31.359 --> 00:23:34.799
remained behind, still blocking the door to the safe room,

302
00:23:35.440 --> 00:23:40.400
a final act of protection, a father's last stand. This

303
00:23:40.839 --> 00:23:46.640
was just one family, one room, one impossible choice. On

304
00:23:46.680 --> 00:23:54.319
October seventh, We'll take a quick break, don't go anywhere.

305
00:23:57.200 --> 00:24:04.200
Part three, narite Unavo called Cornfeld. We returned to Kibbutz

306
00:24:04.240 --> 00:24:08.680
Beairi for our final story. This time we're not entering

307
00:24:08.720 --> 00:24:14.480
a family home. Were stepping into a small dental clinic, quiet, sterile,

308
00:24:14.880 --> 00:24:19.119
and on most days, routine. On the morning of October seventh,

309
00:24:19.440 --> 00:24:24.119
it became something else, entirely, a makeshift hospital and a

310
00:24:24.160 --> 00:24:28.960
front line of horror. This is the story of Niriit

311
00:24:29.319 --> 00:24:36.599
whunvaulved Cornfeld. At seven point fifteen am, Nireit, thirty eight

312
00:24:36.680 --> 00:24:40.279
years old, a Kibbutz nurse, got the call. She was

313
00:24:40.279 --> 00:24:43.359
supposed to be getting her kids ready. That morning was

314
00:24:43.400 --> 00:24:47.359
meant to be simple, joyful. A village wide treasure hunt

315
00:24:47.400 --> 00:24:51.960
followed by kite flying in the open fields. Instead, Niriit

316
00:24:52.240 --> 00:24:55.799
ran towards the wounded. At one point in time, Nurit

317
00:24:55.920 --> 00:24:59.200
made the choice to leave behind a traditional religious life

318
00:24:59.200 --> 00:25:02.759
to be with her part by n Cornfield. They met

319
00:25:02.799 --> 00:25:07.160
while serving as army conscripts. Bounded by service and later

320
00:25:07.400 --> 00:25:11.160
by love. Five years ago, they moved to bed Erie

321
00:25:11.200 --> 00:25:14.960
to build a life together, a quiet one. They had

322
00:25:15.039 --> 00:25:19.599
four young children, all under ten. They imagined October seventh

323
00:25:19.640 --> 00:25:23.839
as a day of play, chasing clues and laughing under

324
00:25:23.880 --> 00:25:28.160
the sun. Instead, it would become a day of blood,

325
00:25:28.720 --> 00:25:32.640
fire and loss. Nireed would spend the rest of the

326
00:25:32.720 --> 00:25:37.920
day in that clinic treating the wounded, patching burns, stopping bleeding,

327
00:25:38.480 --> 00:25:44.000
whispering reassurances between explosions, all while knowing her own family

328
00:25:44.160 --> 00:25:50.279
was somewhere nearby, hiding, praying. This was the reality inside

329
00:25:50.279 --> 00:25:54.720
bed Erie, a place of peace transformed in an instant

330
00:25:55.000 --> 00:25:59.039
into a war zone. The emergency squad held their ground

331
00:25:59.079 --> 00:26:01.960
for as long as they could. Hood around the clinic,

332
00:26:02.039 --> 00:26:05.559
they fought to slow the attackers advance, buying precious time

333
00:26:06.039 --> 00:26:10.960
bullet by bullet. Two volunteers took position at the clinic's entrance.

334
00:26:11.359 --> 00:26:15.359
Rifles raised. They fired at every gunman who came into view,

335
00:26:15.839 --> 00:26:22.119
holding the line for hours until their ammunition finally ran out.

336
00:26:22.319 --> 00:26:32.039
This is ne Reid's testimony. I guess and I arrived

337
00:26:32.079 --> 00:26:35.759
at the dental clinic area. I see Gil critically injured.

338
00:26:35.880 --> 00:26:39.480
On his last breath. We just dragged him into the clinic.

339
00:26:39.920 --> 00:26:42.680
We began to take care of him. A meat and I.

340
00:26:43.880 --> 00:26:47.680
Another member of the emergency squad walks in injured. I

341
00:26:47.759 --> 00:26:52.319
was shot shot in the back. A few moments later,

342
00:26:52.400 --> 00:26:56.079
another one comes in injured. Yeah, Yer came in, blood

343
00:26:56.200 --> 00:26:58.960
all over him. While I'm caring for him, he went

344
00:26:59.000 --> 00:27:02.599
into shock several times shaking. At some point he said,

345
00:27:03.119 --> 00:27:07.400
I'm cold, I'm cold. I can't I'm cold. He really

346
00:27:07.440 --> 00:27:12.680
went into a state of shock, and I begin to

347
00:27:12.720 --> 00:27:17.119
feel really bad, like physically to feel bad. I felt

348
00:27:17.119 --> 00:27:19.839
I was about to pass out. I felt I was

349
00:27:19.880 --> 00:27:22.640
about to throw up. It was because of the smell

350
00:27:22.680 --> 00:27:26.279
of blood. I was filled with blood. I went to

351
00:27:26.319 --> 00:27:28.759
the bathroom and sat on the floor just to try

352
00:27:28.759 --> 00:27:31.440
to breathe a little and try to make the dizziness

353
00:27:31.440 --> 00:27:36.640
and nausea go away. All of a sudden, heavy gunfire

354
00:27:36.720 --> 00:27:39.240
began right outside the clinic and We heard them coming.

355
00:27:39.799 --> 00:27:42.240
We could really hear the a la akbar and the

356
00:27:42.319 --> 00:27:45.039
Arabic and the yelling. And then they threw the first

357
00:27:45.079 --> 00:27:48.759
grenade and then the second, and then they walked into

358
00:27:48.799 --> 00:27:52.920
the clinic. And I'm still in the bathroom, and I

359
00:27:52.920 --> 00:27:55.799
can hear them walking on the shattered glass right outside

360
00:27:55.839 --> 00:27:59.279
the door. And I told myself that's it. I'm now

361
00:27:59.319 --> 00:28:01.880
going to die. And I just curled up in a

362
00:28:01.920 --> 00:28:04.920
fetal position on the floor next to the toilet, holding

363
00:28:05.000 --> 00:28:10.400
my breath. Nurite crouched silently in the bathroom inside the clinic,

364
00:28:11.039 --> 00:28:16.119
heart pounding, breath shallow, waiting for the inevitable sound of footsteps,

365
00:28:16.799 --> 00:28:20.720
waiting for the gunman to find her. In another room.

366
00:28:20.839 --> 00:28:25.200
A metic pleaded for her life. The response was a gunshot.

367
00:28:25.480 --> 00:28:29.000
She was killed where she stood. Within minutes, three more

368
00:28:29.039 --> 00:28:33.279
people were dead. The clinic's white walls were shredded with bullets,

369
00:28:33.720 --> 00:28:37.759
turned into a battlefield. One man survived by crawling beneath

370
00:28:37.759 --> 00:28:41.839
the sink, covering himself in blood and lying perfectly still,

371
00:28:42.279 --> 00:28:46.599
playing dead. And somehow the gunman never opened the door

372
00:28:46.640 --> 00:28:51.279
to the bathroom where Neured was hiding. In a WhatsApp message,

373
00:28:51.559 --> 00:28:55.039
Neurite types to her wife, I Nat Cornfeld, who is

374
00:28:55.079 --> 00:28:59.119
saved in her phone as quote my babo In Israeli

375
00:28:59.160 --> 00:29:03.200
slaying bebo is a playful and affectionate term, often used

376
00:29:03.200 --> 00:29:10.799
similarly to baby or babe in English. Nereit they're here

377
00:29:12.359 --> 00:29:17.559
by Nat who the terrorists next to you? Yes, we

378
00:29:17.640 --> 00:29:20.480
have nowhere to hide. You're a champ. I love you

379
00:29:20.480 --> 00:29:24.559
more than life itself. Move on. Tell the kids they're

380
00:29:24.599 --> 00:29:28.440
everything to me. I love them more than anything. Be

381
00:29:28.599 --> 00:29:34.200
strong and take care of each other. Never stop now.

382
00:29:34.799 --> 00:29:38.279
Don't say things like that, and don't say goodbye. Hide

383
00:29:38.319 --> 00:29:44.079
like a coward. We won't live without you. It's important

384
00:29:44.079 --> 00:29:50.119
for me to know that you'll love on and be happy. NERII,

385
00:29:50.240 --> 00:29:59.559
I hate you for saying these things. Please stop. You're

386
00:29:59.640 --> 00:30:03.079
just laying there waiting to be killed for two hours

387
00:30:03.160 --> 00:30:05.799
and it doesn't end. Then you say to yourself, just

388
00:30:05.839 --> 00:30:08.680
get it over with and kill me. All I was

389
00:30:08.720 --> 00:30:11.519
thinking of was the end. What a great life I had,

390
00:30:12.000 --> 00:30:16.720
How lucky I am. On the one hand, I've lived

391
00:30:16.720 --> 00:30:20.480
such a great life. Really. I got married, I had kids,

392
00:30:21.000 --> 00:30:26.079
I lived, I traveled the world, I've seen stuff. But

393
00:30:26.119 --> 00:30:28.599
on the other hand, I thought about my family. How

394
00:30:28.640 --> 00:30:31.079
hard it's going to be for them, for my mother.

395
00:30:31.680 --> 00:30:33.440
How hard it's going to be if I die and

396
00:30:33.480 --> 00:30:36.559
I'm gone. I told I Nat to just move on,

397
00:30:37.079 --> 00:30:40.319
to be strong for the kids, to raise them, to

398
00:30:40.400 --> 00:30:43.599
make sure they won't forget me, won't forget who I was,

399
00:30:44.279 --> 00:30:49.480
how much their mother loved them. The next series of

400
00:30:49.519 --> 00:30:52.880
WhatsApp messages were sent two hours after the last ones,

401
00:30:53.319 --> 00:30:58.720
at two pm. Narite, take care of the kids, everything

402
00:30:58.759 --> 00:31:04.359
for me, Hi, Nat, You'll raise them and educate them.

403
00:31:04.519 --> 00:31:08.960
No one is saying goodbye, I love you, sorry for

404
00:31:09.079 --> 00:31:13.240
leaving you. The next messages were sent at two forty

405
00:31:13.279 --> 00:31:18.559
six pm, almost one hour later, Narite, allow the kids

406
00:31:18.640 --> 00:31:24.119
more things, sweets, screen time, friends, let it go, don't

407
00:31:24.160 --> 00:31:28.480
fight them, live in harmony with ease and fun, Go

408
00:31:28.559 --> 00:31:34.440
do stuff, spend money. And then the last message, the

409
00:31:34.440 --> 00:31:38.079
one that Narite sent to anat the following day after

410
00:31:38.160 --> 00:31:43.440
she was home and finally safe October eighth, twenty twenty three.

411
00:31:43.640 --> 00:31:46.920
I'm dead inside. I'm so scared of every little noise.

412
00:31:47.519 --> 00:31:51.200
I can't eat, I can't drink. The smell won't go away.

413
00:31:51.960 --> 00:32:01.640
I'm so traumatized. Gil Bollam, age fifty five, Aitan Hadad,

414
00:32:01.880 --> 00:32:07.400
age forty three, doctor Daniel Levy, age thirty four, Amidman

415
00:32:07.759 --> 00:32:13.119
aged twenty two, and Shakhar Zemak age thirty nine, were

416
00:32:13.160 --> 00:32:17.160
all murdered inside the dental clinic on October seventh in

417
00:32:17.240 --> 00:32:20.720
be Ari. Nurit and one of her fellows, Yeah Year,

418
00:32:20.920 --> 00:32:24.440
were the only ones who survived that day. Nerit and

419
00:32:24.480 --> 00:32:30.359
her family were rescued from the Kabbutzbri after sixteen hours.

420
00:32:33.000 --> 00:32:36.319
To see your family alive, after so many hours, after

421
00:32:36.400 --> 00:32:39.640
all that you've been through, just to hug them and

422
00:32:39.759 --> 00:32:49.839
breathe them was I couldn't believe it. I couldn't believe it, Lamande.

423
00:32:54.640 --> 00:32:58.079
Nearly one in every ten residents of be Ari was

424
00:32:58.160 --> 00:33:01.839
killed that day, at least ninety seven civilians in total.

425
00:33:02.559 --> 00:33:05.440
It's a staggering number for any place, but even more

426
00:33:05.519 --> 00:33:09.079
so in a small, close knit community about the size

427
00:33:09.079 --> 00:33:12.440
of Greenwich Village in New York City. The gunmen came

428
00:33:12.440 --> 00:33:15.759
from the west, crossing in from Gaza. That's where they

429
00:33:15.799 --> 00:33:19.640
first struck, moving with ruthless precision through the neighborhoods closest

430
00:33:19.680 --> 00:33:23.640
to the border. They didn't just invade, They hunted. They

431
00:33:23.720 --> 00:33:28.079
torched homes, They dragged people from shelter, They shot residents

432
00:33:28.079 --> 00:33:31.759
in their beds, on porches beneath trees where they tried

433
00:33:31.799 --> 00:33:37.039
to hide. Some were taken kidnapped, Others burned alive when

434
00:33:37.079 --> 00:33:41.319
their houses were set ablaze. Whole families wiped out in

435
00:33:41.359 --> 00:33:45.400
a matter of minutes. The randomness was as terrifying as

436
00:33:45.440 --> 00:33:48.920
the brutality. Some who hid behind a bush or in

437
00:33:48.920 --> 00:33:54.279
a closet survived. Others who followed emergency protocols locking themselves

438
00:33:54.279 --> 00:33:58.519
in reinforced safe rooms were found dead inside. The victims

439
00:33:58.519 --> 00:34:02.839
spanned generations. The youngest wasn't a year old yet, and

440
00:34:02.880 --> 00:34:06.720
the oldest was eighty eight. By the time it was over,

441
00:34:06.839 --> 00:34:12.360
spouses were gone, parents, children. Nothing about Bay looked or

442
00:34:12.400 --> 00:34:16.800
felt the same, and for those who survived, nothing would.

443
00:34:18.519 --> 00:34:22.280
In the aftermath, Even lifelong peace activists began to question

444
00:34:22.400 --> 00:34:26.280
what they believed, not because they wanted to, but because

445
00:34:26.320 --> 00:34:31.559
they had to. Because the images of that day, of friends, neighbors,

446
00:34:31.760 --> 00:34:36.000
children murdered in cold blood don't fade easily. The distinction

447
00:34:36.119 --> 00:34:41.440
between hamas and everyday gossans became harder to hold. Trust collapsed,

448
00:34:41.840 --> 00:34:45.840
and grief turned to something heavier. These same Kabbutzniks now

449
00:34:45.880 --> 00:34:49.559
find themselves stuck in a cruel paradox. They still oppose

450
00:34:49.599 --> 00:34:53.440
the occupation, they still want peace, But how do you

451
00:34:53.480 --> 00:34:57.400
believe in peace when peace got you killed? And when

452
00:34:57.400 --> 00:35:01.079
the government they never voted for net Yah, who's stood

453
00:35:01.159 --> 00:35:08.039
powerless as their people died. Kablitzim were once the moral

454
00:35:08.079 --> 00:35:12.400
compass of Israeli society. Today they are a scar tissue

455
00:35:12.519 --> 00:35:16.960
of a nation still bleeding, not just from rockets and gunfire,

456
00:35:17.639 --> 00:35:43.760
but from the slow death of a dream. I'm t

457
