Israel Chana: Civilian Who "Saved a Whole Neighborhood"

(Times of Israel) Israel Chana, 30, from Ofakim, worked as a private security guard for a bank. He was out walking his dog with his girlfriend, Shahaf Rozolio, on Oct. 7 when they began to hear nearby gunshots while hiding out from the rockets fired from Gaza. Rozolio told Channel 13: "Suddenly we saw [the terrorists]. Israel didn't think twice, he went to go get his personal weapon...and went with another 15 or so civilians and started to search for the terrorists." She never heard from him again. A neighbor told her that she had seen his body and covered it up with a blanket. He had just 15 bullets in his pistol against heavily armed swarms of terrorists. The neighbor told Rozolio she saw Chana "alone against a cell of terrorists." He was running and hiding and shooting at them, "getting their focus on him so that they wouldn't infiltrate into houses....He killed one terrorist and he seriously wounded another," stopping them from entering nearby homes.
