AN AMAZING STORY AMID THE CHAOS
There was one remarkable story amid all the chaos. A 3-year-old girl was badly wounded in a rocket attack in Holon. Her mother was also injured as well as her twin sister. But the girl’s injury was serious – her carotid artery had been partly severed by a piece of shrapnel. They were in a car at the time. The mother shouted for help and in another car a woman and her husband jumped out and rushed to their assistance. It turned out the woman was one of her customers (she was a hairdresser). The woman took her head-covering, called a mitpachat, which religious women wear, and bandaged the wound. They then started running. A moment later, they heard a loud explosion. It was the car in which the woman and her husband had been traveling. It had exploded, having been hit by shrapnel from the rocket, unbeknownst to them.
So they not only saved the little girl, the little girl saved them.
