Linoy Elezra

How do you answer a child who calls and says that his parents were murdered? Linoy, a senior MDA medic, received a chilling call on the morning of October 7th. Nine-year-old Michael from Kibbutz Kfar Gaza, called to find out how he could help his parents, but there was no longer a way to help. Calmly, Linoy instructed him how to take his 6 years old sister Amalia and look for a hiding place. Linoy calmed them down and explained how to get into the closet in the safe room, and to wait there until good people arrived. She promised Michael that whenever he was afraid, he could call again. Throughout the morning the calls to the hotline continued and Linoy did not forget Michael and Amalia. They were released later that evening by the Yahalom unit. Michael and Amalia were saved thanks to Linoy’s courage. Their little sister Abigail, three years old, was kidnapped to Gaza.
