The Day Hamas Came Knocking: "I Looked at the Intercom. It Was a Guy with an RPG"
(Telegraph-UK) Nataliya Vasilyeva - Someone rang the doorbell of the Awhazov family on Saturday morning in the Israeli town of Ofakim. George Awhazov looked at the intercom screen and was confronted by two men in camouflage: one of them tugged at the door handle, the other had a rocket launcher on his shoulder. He wisely did not open the door. He had come within a whisker of being kidnapped. Over a dozen towns and villages in southern Israel were overrun by Hamas fighters on Saturday as they shot residents in the streets and grabbed others to take them to Gaza. "The terrorists were going house-to-house simply to kill as many people as possible. They had no other purpose," said George's father, Yuri.
