🚨HERO: An 85-year-old grandfather deliberately sits in his living room to be killed by terrorists—tricking them into thinking the home was empty and saving his hiding family!
When armed militants attacked Kibbutz Nahal Oz on October 7, 85-year-old Shlomo Ron—one of the founding members of the community—recognized the mortal danger facing his loved ones as gunfire echoed through the streets.
He immediately ordered his wife, two daughters, and grandson into the home's reinforced safe room, refusing their desperate pleas for him to join them inside.
Believing that an empty house might invite a detailed search, Shlomo reasoned that if attackers found an elderly man sitting alone in the front room, they would assume no one else was present and leave after taking his life.
Shlomo calmly sat in his favorite living room armchair and waited as armed assailants broke through the door.
Finding Shlomo alone, the terrorists shot him dead and immediately exited the home without searching the property further, leaving the hidden safe room entirely undiscovered.
Because of his deliberate, calculated self-sacrifice, Shlomo’s wife, daughters, and grandson survived the multi-hour siege unharmed—honoring a hero who gave everything so his family could live.
President Zelenskyy:
Right now, our Ukrainian negotiating team is in Florida on a two-day visit, holding talks with the American team about ending this terrible war. An energy ceasefire could be the first step. This is extremely important for our people, for our families.
At this very moment, the US president is having a conversation with the leader of the Kremlin, the leader of this war, the leader of this aggression. And he has reached an agreement that allows Russia to export diesel fuel.
This means more money for this war and, of course, more suffering for us. It only strengthens Putin and gives him the means to wage war on an even greater scale. All of this money goes toward the war against people, against Ukraine, against all of us.
I believe our team is simply being used as a smokescreen.
And this is certainly not fair. This is certainly not how partners should act. And in my opinion, this is a weak decision. Unfortunately, a weak decision by strong partners.
