Border Police Saved Many from Hamas Slaughter

(Ynet News) Meir Turgeman - Four Border Police officers, acting without any orders, rushed to the scene of the music festival attacked by Hamas near Re'im. Superintendent Shifra Buchris, 45, a mother of ten, serves as commander of the reconnaissance unit in the Border Police Southern Brigade. Accompanied by her deputy, Chief Inspector Ram Amrani, Sgt. First Class Baruch Avischal, and Sergeant Major Yoniv Cohen Dahar, they courageously drove in two private, non-armored vehicles toward the area under attack. Despite constant gunfire, they worked for 12 hours to evacuate the wounded and stranded, to save as many people as possible. "I would have wanted to eliminate the terrorists because I am a fighter at heart," said Buchris, "but within that brutal battleground, we collectively decided that our foremost priority was to save the lives of the wounded." "We found young people who were feigning death, and that clever decision ultimately saved their lives. We swiftly rescued them, loading as many as we could into two vehicles, even utilizing the trunk space, and raced towards the Urim intersection, where the ambulance point was located. We operated on autopilot, determined not to allow even the bodies, including those of the policemen whom we personally knew, to impede or delay us." Chief Inspector Amrani recounted: "The sight of hundreds of dead young men with a bullet in their foreheads was proof of the terrorists' killing. The mind cannot comprehend the piles of corpses." Throughout this entire operation, they remained a moving target for the terrorists, with bullets whizzing overhead constantly.
