Danielle Biton, who lives on Kibbutz Karmita near the Gaza Strip in Israel, described her escape to safety on Saturday.
A young Israeli woman who fled her kibbutz as Hamas launched attacks on it described her journey to safety and said she is unsure if she will have a home to return to.
Danielle Biton, who lives on Kibbutz Karmita near the Gaza Strip in Israel, fled her home on the kibbutz on Saturday after Hamas began its deadly attack against Israel over the weekend. She described her experience getting to safety in a conversation on Instagram Live Monday with I24 News journalist Natasha Raquel Kirtchuk Gutman.
Biton described hearing Iron Dome bomb sirens starting around 5:00 a.m. that lasted about an hour. Biton said Israelis are „used to“ hearing these alarms and said she didn’t grow too concerned until she stepped outside and heard shots from automatic weapons around her — an unfamiliar noise on both sides, she said on the Live.
„The noises were right next to us, so I told my friend that we have to leave because the M-16 guns are something we are not used to,“ she told Kirtchuk Gutman.
