She said it didn\u2019t take long to realize the assault was \u201csomething different\u201d from the normal incursions that unfold, especially considering its widespread and intense nature.<\/p>\n<p>Watch Raemer\u2019s story:<\/p>\n<figure>\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Terror Survivor Details Horrors of Israel Attack\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rQrO-iR4mgo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>\u201cYou have between zero to 10 seconds to get to someplace safe \u2026 from the second you hear the warning until the second you hear that rocket explode,\u201d she said. \u201cSo, I ran to my safe room, which is \u2026 my guest room and my son was sleeping in there, and we realized that this was something different [from normal], because it was such a heavy barrage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Soon, messages started coming in on Raemer\u2019s internal kibbutz messaging system letting residents know Israel had been invaded.<\/p>\n<p>She and others in the community locked their doors and windows and went back in their safe rooms.<\/p>\n<p>At first, she said she didn\u2019t take the situation too seriously, not realizing the horrific carnage unfolding \u2014 a deadly horror that left those in their saferooms vulnerable to Hamas terrorists on the ground.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe problem is safe rooms are built to keep you safe from rockets,\u201d she said. \u201cThey don\u2019t lock [and] they\u2019re not built for infiltration. So, we were in the safe room waiting and hoping that this is going to finish soon.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But the terrorists were on the ground and infiltrating homes, attempting to shoot through safe room doors and even setting homes ablaze. Raemer\u2019s fellow Israelis could hear Arabic outside their safe rooms as bullets began to fly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs more and more people are writing [on the messaging system], we hear them outside,\u201d she said. \u201cWe hear them shouting and shooting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Raemer\u2019s son held down the handle on her safe room to protect them. People did the same in other nearby homes. One family with a 10-day-old baby was in their safe room when terrorists entered the house and set it on fire after being unable to break through the door to reach the family.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen they set the house on fire, smoke was streaming into their safe room with this 10-day-old baby,\u201d Raemer said. \u201cAnd they\u2019re on the phone trying to get help from the army, from the fire department, from the police \u2026 and they\u2019re telling them, \u2018We can\u2019t get to you; nobody\u2019s coming.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But the family followed advice to open a window a little and intermittently put the newborn on the ledge so he could get fresh air. At the same time, Raemer\u2019s son-in-law was in his nearby home defending her grandchildren from the unthinkable.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe heard the terrorists entering his house and he told the children, \u2018Hide under the blanket. Don\u2019t come out no matter what happens. You\u2019re gonna hear a loud noise, but don\u2019t come out from under the blanket It\u2019ll be okay,&#8217;\u201d she recounted. \u201cHe saw the handle starting to move, kicked the door open, and shot the terrorist that was just outside his safe room door. He killed that terrorist.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As for Raemer, she and her son spent hours in her safe room until she exited due to physical pain and the need to use her restroom. That\u2019s when she noticed the terrorists had broken the slats on her window yet no one was inside; somehow, they had skipped her home.<\/p>\n<p>Raemer is still struggling to process all that unfolded, noting that the realities of what her community endured remind her of the horrors the Jewish people faced before and during World War II.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese are stories that I heard when I was a child about the Holocaust,\u201d Raemer said. \u201cI\u2019m living in my own country, in the land of Israel. We have an army. We\u2019re 2023. How is it that I\u2019m hiding in my safe room from the Nazis of 2023 who are coming to kill me because I\u2019m a Jew \u2014 just because I\u2019m a Jew?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She continued, \u201cThey don\u2019t have any national aspirations. If they did, they could have had a country long ago, numerous times. They\u2019re just there to kill us. They want us gone. When they say, \u2018From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.\u2019 That\u2019s a genocidal war cry and I take them at their word.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Raemer said she\u2019s now a refugee in her own country, as she still can\u2019t live in her home or community. She\u2019s currently helping raise money to rebuild and make the community \u201cbigger, and better, and stronger, and safer.\u201d Watch her full story above.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www1.cbn.com\/cbnnews\/world\/2024\/march\/terror-survivor-details-horrors-of-israel-attack-a-genocidal-war-cry\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Adele Raemer loved life in her small Israeli kibbutz, calling it \u201c95% heaven\u201d before the horror of Hamas\u2019 Oct. 7 terror attack shattered that reality.
