'We Don't Go Down Without a Fight': Israeli Survivor Armed Her Kids as Hamas Attacked Their Home"I ran to the safe room, put on vests on my children. One daughter, I gave her a canister of pepper gas; the other daughter, I gave her a club. And on my son, my small son, I gave him a helmet to protect his body." -Michal Rahav, a survivor of the raid on Kibbutz Nirim, near the Gaza border
"We started seeing these horrible things that looked like the apocalypse—burnt cars, cars that have been gunned down, bodies, a lot of bodies, inside the cars outside the cars, just like images that I don't know how to describe," said Galia Sopher, a survivor of the Hamas raid on Kibbutz Mefalsim, near the Gaza border. Sopher and her family survived the attack by hiding in the shelter in their home. "We've lost a lot of friends, a lot of people that I work with; I know that they are kidnapped," the tearful survivor continued. "I don't know how we got so lucky and why others didn't."
"I laid them down on the floor, and I told them, 'Whatever comes through that door, we fight; we don't go down without a fight,'" Rahav continued. Rahav, her husband, and three children survived the Hamas attack. After firing a rocket-propelled grenade at her home, and shooting at the door and window, the terrorists could not get into the safe room and moved on. "My kids are trying to pick up the pieces. Every hour that goes by, we understand how big this tragedy is," she explained. "They lose friends; they lose teachers, classmates." The organization known as the "Combat Antisemitism Movement" provided survivors like these an opportunity to share their stories.

"Like in this moment, it was clear that it was a terrorist, and my friend, again, with a swift decision, like just made a massive u-turn and started driving as fast as he can to the other side." Alon Marek also escaped the music festival attack.
Combat Antisemitism Movement hopes that by sharing these stories, the audience "will gain a profound understanding of the human toll of these attacks." The organization's leader wants to inform the world, including allies and friends, what happened to the Jewish people. "It's scenes that you would imagine 70 years ago, but not in 2023, that people are running in the forest and hiding," said Marek. "And they can't speak in the phones; they can't make a noise because there are terrorists that are walking just beside them, and gunshots firing everywhere." "Everything was shattered for us, and the reality that we know now is different," Rahav shared. "We don't know how to continue from now on, and what is going to be."
