Elderly Couple, Abducted by Hamas, Tell How They Refused to Be Taken to Gaza
(Times of Israel) Stuart Winer - Moshe and Diana Rosen, who were injured and abducted by Hamas terrorists marauding through Kibbutz Nir Yitzhak, told Israel's Channel 12 how they refused to be taken captive in Gaza on Saturday. The couple said they could hear the terrorists tearing their home apart, smashing glass, overturning tables. "With a tremendous effort" the couple managed to prevent the invaders from opening the door to the sealed safe room, "but they shot the lock and the door opened. We were injured in our hands when we were hit by a volley of bullets as we tried to stop them coming in." Five terrorists grabbed the couple and began walking them toward Gaza. As they were brought into Gaza, "we dared to tell the terrorists that we simply aren't going to Gaza," Moshe said. "We told them we are injured, bleeding, and need to go to a hospital." Then, as the standoff continued, the terrorists abruptly told the couple in English, "Okay, go." "We turned around and walked. During those long moments, we feared they would shoot us."
