Israeli pair fought bravely before perishing, yet rescued their infants

A widely publicized narrative on social media and television, not just within the United States, revolves around the Berdichevsky family in Kfar Aza, a small kibbutz where numerous heinous acts transpired. On the morning of October 7, the Hamas assailants arrived on motorcycles, prompting the swift response of the young couple, Itai and Hadar Berdichevsky. Both aged 30, they were resolute in their determination to fight to the very end, fully aware that their fate was likely sealed. Their primary concern was ensuring the survival of their twin 10-month-old sons. CBS News has even highlighted the bravery and selflessness exhibited by the parents.

Recognizing that their children would be in danger if they didn't act, Hadar secured the babies in a secure room before venturing out of her own shelter to prepare their bottles. Tragically, her lifeless body was discovered in the kitchen, surrounded by the empty bottles she had intended to refill. It is suspected that she made an attempt to resist in the kitchen before she was fatally shot. In the meantime, Itai, without any weapons, endeavored to repel the attackers using only his bare hands. The extent of the damage he managed to inflict and how long he persisted in his struggle before meeting his demise remains uncertain.
