Israeli soldier gravely injured in Oct. 7 terror attack finds new faith, offers hope to others

An Israeli Defense Force (IDF) soldier talked to Fox News Digital about how he survived the Oct. 7, 2023, terror attack on Israel — and how his faith is strong as he shares hope with others.

Lying in a pool of blood, he cupped his hands and smeared blood all over his face and clothing so it would appear as if he'd been killed. He kept a tight grip on his gun the entire time, peering through the magnifier. The two men helped each other tie tourniquets and took bullets from their friends’ guns who had been killed.  "You see from their faces that [the released hostages] experienced grave trauma … A lot of them have signs of PTSD. They can’t sit calmly; they’re agitated."  When a soldier looks into the eyes of a fellow warrior, "only they can understand each other's pain." "You could hear a pin drop while he spoke. People were crying, and then they were cheering." Eve Glover is a contributing writer for Fox News Digital. 

He went on to describe a horrific series of events — and how he's finally arrived at a place of hope as he moves forward without so many others whose lives were cruelly taken by terrorists.
