Israeli couple save their twins by hiding them

In a last act of bravery, a young Israeli couple hid their 10-month-old twin babies before Hamas operatives broke into their home and shot them both dead. According to The Independent, Itai and Hadar Berdichevsky were attacked in their home in Kfar Gaza, a kibbutz just three miles east of Gaza. But before they were murdered by Hamas gunmen, they hid their 10-month-old twins in a shelter, where they remained for 12 hours until they were rescued by Israeli soldiers. 

Taking to social media, Deputy Ambassador of Israel in Cyprus, Rotem Segev, wrote, "Itay and Hadar Berdichevsky, 30 years old. They hid the ten-month-old twins in the shelter while terrorists broke into their home. They were brutally murdered after fighting fiercely with the terrorists."

Further, according to Ms Segev, the babies were left alone for over 12 hours until they were rescued by Israeli forces. "Imagine the horror. Two terrified parents who tried with all their might to protect their children, who are now orphans. May their memory be a blessing," she wrote on the micro-blogging site. 

As per the New York Post, the babies were rescued unharmed and were later handed to their grandmother.
