Eilat Survivor Feigned Death Next to Husband's Body

A survivor of the attacks Thursday near Eilat feigned death for an hour after she and her husband were hit by terrorist gunfire. Her husband was killed.

Yosef and Esther Levy of Holon were driving on Highway 12 when they were ambushed by terrorists with guns and bomb belts. The terrorists sprayed the car with fire, hitting both passengers and causing the vehicle to overturn.

“There was blood on the floor, and I heard my husband moaning,” Esther later told Yediot Aharonot. “I saw that his shirt was covered in blood.”

Esther was hit in the shoulder and suffered additional injuries when the car crashed. She managed to remain still for an hour as IDF soldiers engaged the terrorists and a gun battle ensued.

Her actions may have saved her life. Terrorists made sure to “confirm the kill” when attacking a second car full of travelers, all four of whom were murdered.

Isn’t the one thing the government is supposed to do is protect its citizens from this?

Bibi and Ehud were doing that with a vengeance last night. But it looks like we’ll have to take part of the Sinai back, and that will mean war with Egypt. But Eilat must not be f@#$#ed with.

We? You're there? Godspeed.

It's hard to image the presence of mind it required for her to do that. At least she ensured that her children will have one surviving parent.
