...Salomon spoke to her friends about the terror attack and remembers every detail of every horrific moment.
"We were waiting for guests to arrive, to celebrate the birth of our new grandson, so the door wasn't locked," Tova said. "When someone knocked on the door, we assumed it was a guest."
"Haya opened the door and he stabbed her. She ran out of the house screaming, to alert the neighbors....
"I asked him, 'Who are you?' He laughed in my face and waved the knife.
"At that point I understood what was happening. I bent down and turned my back to him, so that even if he stabbed me, it would be on my back and not my neck. I ran upstairs towards where the bedrooms are, and sat down on the couch.
"I saw him run towards my husband Yossi, but I didn't see exactly what happened. I just saw that Yossi fell and the terrorist ran to Elad, and Elad fought with him for several long minutes.
"It wasn't a fair fight. The terrorist was standing opposite him, holding a knife, but Elad blocked him for several crucial minutes in order to save his family. At that moment, I didn't understand where Haya was. I hoped she had made it, and I thought maybe she was hiding in the bathroom or shower room. We looked all over the house for her, until we realized she had gone outside to call for help, and wasn't with us anymore. Her courage to call for help, and Elad's courage [in fighting with the terrorist] is what saved Elad's wife and their five children.

A hand gun in the house would have had more value than gold.
For the next 2 to 3 weeks, EVERYBODY came up to me, saying, 'Well, I woulda done this, or I woulda done that'... Really annoying. You weren't there. I was. So what you woulda done doesn't matter. What I did worked, the guy's in prison for 67 years.
From Link in article:
http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/232829
the wife of one of those killed managed to lock five children into a room and call the Police. Her quick thinking stopped the body count from being even higher.
According to reports, as soon as the woman saw the terrorist enter, she shoved five children into a side room, saving them from the terrorist onslaught. Meanwhile, a soldier on leave from the elite Oketz K-9 special forces unit heard what was going on and shot the terrorist through the window, ending the attack in progress.
“I operated instinctively” said A., whose name cannot be revealed due to the special IDF unit in which he serves. “I didn't want to waste time, and fired through the window.”
Good on him. Little f@#$ now has eternity with Helen Thomas lookalikes.
“A hand gun in the house would have had more value than gold.”
And one on your person would of been worth it’s weight in lives lost.
I actually can look at it both ways. Yours is the positive angle.
mine not so much.
The world equates Paleostinian savages butchering unarmed men, women and children to violently protesting Paleostinians killed while attacking Jews. No other people behave this way as part of their education, everyday. No people are as vicious as the Arab Muslims, not only against Jews but against their fellow Arab. They are the true definition of the “scum of the Earth”.
BTW, I'm one who is always armed -- or, at east, within arms reach of armament -- so, (I think) I echo your sentiment... '-)
With the rise in home invasions your gun does you no good in the bedroom if you are watching TV in the family room when the invaders breach the front door. I know a guy that had a home invasion while he was cooking dinner. He yelled at the armed guy at the front door that he was going to go get his gun. What he didn’t know was that a second invader had entered the bedroom window and had already gained control of his 12ga. On the way down the hall he ran(literally) straight into the barrel of his own gun pointed at him. Luckily the invaders were interested in stuff and duct taped this guy and his wife together. Cleaned the house thoroughly of valuables and left them unharmed.
True I am not in a positive frame of mind about the country and things in general. Long career of being the “fixer” and the general demise of society. However, once in a while I am pleasantly surprised when things have a positive result. This case in Israel gives me great pause. We have close family friends with small children that moved there about 10 years ago. I take their security very seriously, but at least they didn’t move to Chicago.
Many Muslim terrorists act as if possessed or on drugs, with a deranged mental “high” going on.
The use of various drugs is rampant among jihadists. They also drug their rape victims and their orange-suited soon-to-be-beheaded victims, which is why you never see them attempt to resist.
Gen. 16:11-12: You shall name him Ishmael... He will be a wild donkey of a man; his hand will be against everyone and everyones hand against him, and he will live in hostility toward all his brothers.
He laughed in my face and waved the knife.
Happiness is a warm gun.
And James Potter foolishly forgot his wand when answering the door, and Lord Voldemort immediately killed him.Let that be a lesson. Never answer the door without a gun unless you have a magic wand.
In fact, less than ten days ago, its mere presence in hand did its job of encouraging the rapid departure of a couple of trepassers...
Very good! Trespassers around here are becoming more and more bold and I live in a “good” area. They try door locks and windows etc to gain entry.
It is becoming the big city mostly fueled by meth and heroine addiction. Drug addicts just don’t function right in the head.
