Adina and Sa'id Moshe on October 7 | Kan 07.10.360

Sa'id and Adina wake up to the sounds of gunfire and red alerts. That night, they had chosen to sleep in the safe room and they agree now that choosing the safe room had been the right call. They turn on the TV and learn that rocket barrages are striking across the country. Married for 53 years, they have four children and 12 grandchildren

The daughter of Bracha Levinson, a neighbor of the Moshe family, calls Adina, asking her to check on her mother's well-being after seeing a photo on Facebook of her being shot. Adina and Sa'id step outside and spot a large group of people in uniform. Mistaking them for IDF paratroopers due to their red shoes, Adina hesitates, but Sa'id urgently warns her: “Adina, get inside now! They’re terrorists—they have AK-47s.” As they hear them speaking Arabic, the couple rushes into their safe room. The terrorists bypass the Moses family home and raid neighboring houses instead. Adina messages Shahar Butler, the kibbutz's Ravshatz (Military Ongoing Security Coordinator), informing him that their neighbor Bracha Levinson has been injured. He does not respond

Terrorists break into Adina and Sa'id’s home through the balcony and attempt to force open the safe room door. On the other side, Sa'id struggles to keep it shut. The terrorists fire at the door, wounding him in the knee. Adina contacts her neighbor, Gadi Moses, a member of the kibbutz’s emergency team, for instructions on how to help Sa'id. She makes a tourniquet from her trouser drawstring, ties it around his knee, and hides under a small table. Later that day, Gadi Moses is kidnapped to Gaza

While her husband bleeds, the terrorists continue trying to break into the safe room, and Adina desperately calls for help. She messages her children: "Sa'id is badly injured and bleeding. They are trying to break down the door." Three minutes later, she sends another message: "Sa'id is critically wounded, he's losing a lot of blood, and the terrorists won’t stop trying to break in." After this message, all contact with Adina is lost

The terrorists detonate an explosive, shattering the safe room window and using it to enter. They force Adina out through the opening. Sa'id manages to give her one last kiss before a terrorist shoots him twice, right in front of her eyes

Adina is abducted to Gaza on a motorcycle, wedged between two terrorists. On the way to the border, she sees a burnt tank, fallen soldiers, and a frenzied Gazan mob. Meanwhile, the terrorists set Adina and Sa'id’s home ablaze

As the motorcycle speeds through Khan Younis, a city Adina knows well from her time as a volunteer, she sees jubilant children and women rushing toward her. A youngster snatches her eyeglasses. From that moment, she is forced into an hours-long journey through Gaza’s underground tunnels. Initially, she is held captive alongside her kibbutz friend, 85-year-old Yochebed Lifshitz. Later, she encounters other hostages from Kibbutz Nir Oz and Nirim, also imprisoned in the tunnels

For hours, Adina and Sa'id's family members struggle to determine their fate after losing contact with them. Around 2 p.m., they come across a video circulated by Hamas on social media, showing Adina on a motorcycle, wedged between two terrorists, being taken through the streets. That’s when they realize she has been abducted
