The U.S. citizens Deborah and Shlomi Matias were killed in Saturday's Hamas attack against Israel.
Their 16-year-old son Rotem was covered by his mother's body and survived the attack despite suffering a gunshot wound to the stomach.
He was rescued 12 hours later

Oh no. How horrible. I can’t imagine living beyond this...what a long and painful recovery this young man will have.
His mother shielded his life.
God bless them ….throughout eternity.
