"Dad, I was shot, help", the confession of the Israeli survivor: My
Neta Portal

22-year-old Neta Portal had not spoken to her father for six years, after her parents' divorce .

But when Hamas gunmen broke into her home in the Jewish community of Kfar Aza and shot her six times, she knew he was the only person who could save her life.

Shimon Portal, a policeman, was already in a firefight in the nearby town of Sderot when he received the first message from his daughter.

But the carnage in the community had already begun.

“We meet Neta in a hospital in Tel Aviv, where doctors have now carefully removed every bullet – five in her left leg and one in her right.

She trembles as she remembers how she slipped and lost consciousness after the gunmen entered the residents' safe room and opened fire for the first time .

- They were shooting people. They were shooting the children. And people were shouting "Please no, please no". I tried to wake up because I didn't want to die.

Sitting next to her in her cubicle is her boyfriend Santiago – or Santi – who tries to hold back tears.

The couple had spent four months in Kfar Aza – a place they describe as the most beautiful on earth. Their intertwined hands turn white as their grip tightens and Neta remembers what happened next.

- Santi told me "Night, please open the window, please jump." I started to open the window and saw 10 or 15 terrorists."

She couldn't believe what she was seeing.

– They were standing in a car with a big automatic, smoking cigarettes and laughing like they were on vacation.

Neta says she and her boyfriend were afraid to jump, but when an attacker threw a grenade into the room, Santi grabbed him and they jumped out the window together.

- The terrorists saw us and started shooting as if we were nothing.

Neta was hit with more bullets in her leg and hand.

– Santiago shouted at me: “Please get up – start running. If you don't stand up, we will die. We will die"

Santiago managed to get him to safety two streets away, where they hid under a large pile of garbage, trying to stay as quiet as possible.

As Santiago silently used his shirt to try to stem the blood that was pouring out of Neta's legs, she managed to text her father again.

Neta tells her father that she was shot and her father replies that he is coming to get her

Also in the hospital and sitting by his daughter's side, Shimon Portal tells me what it was like to receive that message.

"My heart stopped. My brain started to spin. I was crazy.”

The plainclothes policeman was already on his way to Kfar Aza, but when he finally arrived in his unmarked car, gunmen opened fire and he returned fire.

Shimon turned back as bullets hit his vehicle and he managed to get away.

He composed himself and then tried to make a second attempt to save his daughter.

This time, everything was quiet, so he called Neta.

"Suddenly, three children ran towards my car because they had heard me shouting in Hebrew. And I opened the door. They started to move forward, but two terrorists came out of the houses and shot at us."

Shimon says he was able to escape with the three girls.

He didn't know where his daughter lived, but he made his way to the location she sent him.

Then he found it. He put Neta in the back of his car and together with Santiago, who had also been shot in the leg, they went to the nearest hospital.

A father-daughter reunion in the midst of one of the most horrific attacks Israel has ever suffered.

Now, in the ward, Shimon looks at his daughter, in her hospital gown.

"My beautiful daughter. I returned it".

But his relief is tinged with anger and sadness.

"She is a child of peace. She only believes in peace and doesn't understand why they killed little children, why they burned little children in the kibbutz."

With Neta visibly tired and her nurse sending herself to get more pain medication, I ask Neta how she thinks the Israeli government should respond to the massacre of her community and other atrocities.

It is at this point that her fluctuating concern turns to deep anger.

"You want the truth? I don't want Hamas in my life anymore. We must destroy them one by one. We have to be strong."

So what exactly is the military supposed to do?

"The army must be inside Gaza," says Neta. "They have to kill one terrorist after one terrorist after one terrorist. I want peace with all my heart, but I think it will not be peace.”

“I'm sorry to say this – but I was just at my house. And they shot me in my bed."

I ask one last question: does she think about the civilians in Gaza who will inevitably be killed in such an intensive ground operation?

"Everything I say is about the jihadists and Hamas. My country does not want to hurt civilians. I don't want to hurt civilians. I want them to be saved. I don't think they should die. Like me do not need to die. They are like me.”

"But we must fight."
