An Israeli Border Policeman Defends His Community
(Mosaic) A 20-year-old Israeli Border Policeman who lives near Gaza described his experience on Saturday. "Five minutes after the missile launches started, my little brother got a message from a friend saying he could hear gunshots near his house. I decided to head out to see if everything was OK. I got in the car and drove over to the neighborhood with my service rifle. When I got there, there were loads of police cars and the sound of gunfire. Immediately, I ran over to the first policeman I saw and joined up with him, telling him that I was in the Border Police. We opened fire at two of the terrorists' pickup trucks. There were around eight terrorists inside. We finished them off." Later, driving in an armored vehicle to Re'im, "we saw an armored police vehicle with five soldiers, who it turned out were terrorists. We slowed down to stop them and they opened fire on us. The gunfire was so intense that the glass from the windscreen flew in our faces and they also hit the engine....Another 500 meters later, we saw a shelter. We stopped and checked if anyone was there. We got to the shelter and found around fifteen scorched bodies inside....We saw two girls from the party who were still alive, so we brought them into our vehicle and gave them medical attention." Right after they dropped the girls off near a tank, "we got shot at with two RPGs, which missed us by a few meters, as we came under a hail of bullets....We were five people with only two long guns, against twenty terrorists who were much better armed....While we were under fire, we took turns - one bandaging the wounded and the other shooting at the terrorists....When we started running out of ammo, we started shooting with the Kalashnikovs of the terrorists we had killed."
