Ein Habesor is located about three miles from Gaza, and produces about 60 percent of all of Israel's produce. Though the terrorists never breached the gate, and nobody from Ein Habesor was killed, nearby communities weren't so lucky.
Yftach Gepner points out bullet holes in the electronic gate at the entryway to Ein Habesor in Israel that Hamas terrorists tried to breach on Oct 7. Gepner’s brother was shot and seriously injured during the assault. Ein Habesor, about …, a professor at Tel Aviv University, turned to his wife in bed and said the rockets and missiles and shelling they were listening to seemed different from normal.
He told his wife to get their kids into the safe room in their home, and he went outside to see what was happening. At first he thought the video clips of terrorists in a truck that popped in his WhatsApp were bits of fake news. Then he saw with his own eyes a truck of terrorists with RPGs on a nearby road and he realized the assault was real.and his brother, Eldad, and other members of the community hunkered at the gate and fired at advancing Hamas terrorists.
Bullets tore through the vehicle and struck Eldad again. Another splattered the glass on the windshield, just missing Eldad’s head, as he laid back against the seat.was killed, adjacent communities weren’t so lucky. For hours, terrorists from Gaza drove the nearby roads — which included those to Reim forest, where thousands of Jewish youth had congregated for the Nova Festival of music — and they fired off RPGs and rifles as they scoured the areas for Jews to kill, rape, torture, capture.
Gepner said that until October 7, most of those in Ein Habeshor wanted to help the Palestinians, and often provided them medical and health care.
