Kan 7.10.360 | Yonchi and Shoshi Brosh from Kibbutz Nahal Oz on October 7

Shoshi and Yonchi wake up to the sounds of alarms and explosions. When they realize this is an unusual barrage, they enter the safe room but do not lock it. Yonchi sits in front of the computer in the room, trying to catch up on what's going on outside.

Terrorists who infiltrated the kibbutz arrive at the house of the Brosh family, notice that the steel window of the safe room is open, and shoot through it. Yonchi is wounded by shrapnel of the shattered window, he bends down and tells Shoshi: “Get down low.” Shoshi is going to close the door of the safe room.

The terrorists break into the house and start shooting everywhere. From inside the safe room, Yonchi and Shoshi hear the terrorists exchange clips and throw a grenade - which does not explode. The terrorists then fire at the closed safe room door. At least two bullets penetrated inside and hit Shoshi - in the chest and hand. She shouts “Yonchi” and loses consciousness. Yonchi checks her pulse and realizes she is not among the living.

Yonchi opens a crack in the door of the safe room and sees that a terrorist is standing in front of him. The terrorist shoots at him hits his left hand - and runs away, apparently believing that he killed everyone who was in the safe room. Yonchi improvises a dressing for his wound using clothing.

The wounded Yonchi writes several messages in the kibbutz's WhatsApp group. He requests immediate medical evacuation

Five special forces soldiers arrive at the Brosh home along with a kibbutz's security squad member, Bary Meyerovich. He asks them to check on Shoshi, and they confirm that she is dead. Yonchi is evacuated to his neighbors' house, Ruthi and Yossi Wagner, and enters the safe room with them. They get advice from a medic and bandage Yonchi to stop the bleeding. Yonchi tells his children about the death of their mother, Shoshi.

After long hours, Yonchi, Ruthi, and Yossi hear fierce battles outside the house, and a squad of special forces fighters arrives. Accompanied by the fighters, Yonchi returns home to take vital equipment and say goodbye to Shashi one last time. He finds an upside-down house looted by the terrorists. The commander of the force accompanying him notices an unexploded grenade on the floor and immediately directs Yonchi back to Ruthi and Yossi Wagner's safe room.

The Wagner couple and Yonchi are evacuated to the Tibon family home, which has become a kind of command center within the kibbutz. A special forces doctor examines Yonchi and orders his evacuation to a hospital.

Yonchi is evacuated by ambulance to Soroka Hospital in Beer Sheva
