The Israeli embassy in India expressed its gratitude on social media for the actions of two Keralites who prevented militants from reaching Israeli victims they were caring for by hanging onto the door handle during the onslaught by Hamas.
“Indian superwomen! Listen to this story of Sabitha, a caregiver from Kerala, as she shares how she and Meera Mohanan saved the Israeli civilians they were taking care of by holding the door handle and preventing the Hamas Terrorists from bursting in and killing them,” the embassy posted on their X handle along with a video of Sabitha explaining her experience.
In the video, Sabitha claims to be caring for an elderly woman with ALS named Rahel while working in the border kibbutz Nir Oz alongside Mohanan.
“I was on night duty and was about to leave when we heard the siren at around 6.30 am. We ran to the safety room. The siren did not stop and soon we got a call from Rahel’s daughter that things were out of our hands. She told us to keep the doors locked and stay inside. Within a few minutes, we heard the terrorists breaking into our house, shooting, and breaking the glasses,” she said.
Sabitha said they both took off their slippers to ensure their feet would grip the floor. “Terrorists were at the house from around 7.30 am trying to open the door from outside. But we tried our best to hold on to the door. They hit the door and then shot at it. They destroyed everything,” she said.
