In an emotional post on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.october7.org\/post\/i-waited-for-the-final-bullet-that-would-hit-me-and-kill-me\">October7.org<\/a>, a website with a list of survivor stories, First Lieutenant Eden Ram said she lay motionless among her dead friends &#8220;waiting for the final bullet&#8221;. Israel said 1,200 people were killed when Hamas fighters raided border towns, kibbutzim and a music festival, and more than 200 hostages taken to Hamas-ruled Gaza.<\/p>\n<p>The soldier started the post with, &#8220;So this is my story, the horror movie I lived through on Saturday, October 7, 2023.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The First Lieutenant then said she was trapped in a room along with six of her colleagues after being shot in the leg. The seven soldiers couldn&#8217;t do anything but wait until Hamas blew through every security door until they finally reached the IDF troops, unleashing a volley of gunfire on them.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Throughout this I was not sure if I was dead or alive, I felt dead, but I could still see and hear and feel. I waited for the final bullet that would hit me and kill me, but it never came,&#8221; wrote First Lieutenant Eden Ram.<\/p>\n<p>The soldier further said that she was lying in a pool of own blood between the bodies of her friends for four hours as terrorists checked on the bodies.<\/p>\n<p>While waiting to be rescued, she suddenly felt the breath of her friend, Sahar, who also survived the attack.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;She took off her uniform to give me first aid. I began to touch my whole body to see where I was hit, how much I am bleeding, and how much time I have to live. I felt like I was dying,&#8221; wrote the soldier.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Then after four hours of playing dead, while I was in so much pain but I couldn&#8217;t say a word, angels came to save me. They took me to Soroka hospital (in Be&#8217;er Sheva) and on the way I immediately asked to call my family and tell them that I was alive against all odds,&#8221; she added.<\/p>\n<p>The first 48 hours in the hospital were gruelling as she received two life-saving operations, with doctors putting her on ventilation for the next three days while keeping her heavily sedated.<\/p>\n<p>The First Lieutenant has recovered fast and is already walking again. She received an award from Israel President Isaac Herzog for her valour on October 7.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ndtv.com\/world-news\/israeli-soldier-recalls-being-shot-12-times-by-hamas-playing-dead-to-survive-4659482\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] First Lieutenant Eden Ram is recovering in a hospital.
