The Full Testimony
Testimony of
Carmela Michaeli
Carmela Michaeli, from Netiv HaAsara, is a mother of six. On Saturday morning, she and her husband initially sought shelter under the stairway in their house, as they didn't have a safe room. The onslaught of rockets appeared different, prompting Carmela's husband to lead them to the safe room in her daughter's adjacent house. On the way there, they noticed a terrorist on a motorized paraglider, but Carmela still didn't understand what she was seeing. Her son Itai, the moshav's civil security coordinator, urged them to lock themselves in the safe room. Later on, they found out that Oren and Danny, two of their beloved tenants, were murdered by a terrorist who also shot Danny's dog. The dog's blood covered the entire path. \nCarmela's memories from the Black Sabbath are fragmented and gradually come to the surface. With them comes great sadness. She doesn't believe she'll ever be happy again.
