Subtitle: Clarity emerges after video sparks controversy and widespread judgment
Date: [Date]
In recent days, a video capturing a van loaded with armed terrorists driving unimpeded through the streets of Sderot, Israel, has sparked outrage and prompted widespread criticism. However, as new information emerges, the true story behind the viral footage is finally coming to light.
The video, which depicts a police car passing by the van before the terrorists open fire, caused an uproar among viewers. Many questioned why the police officers did not engage the terrorists. Yet, as Sergeant Yael Gottlieb from Ashkelon, a fighter from the 5th SMG, reveals, the video fails to provide the whole story.
In an exclusive interview with Mako, Gottlieb explained how the car in the video was actually rushing to aid fellow police officers under attack at the Sderot police station. Gottlieb, accompanied by another MGB fighter, was en route to confront and neutralize the terrorists barricaded within the station.
Critics quickly judged Gottlieb and her partner, accusing them of not stopping to engage the terrorists. However, Gottlieb stressed the importance of seeing the entire video in context before drawing conclusions.
Gottlieb was dispatched to reinforce the security system at the Ashkelon police station. On the morning of the incident, alarms rang across the city of Ashkelon, warning of a terrorist infiltration in nearby Kibbutz Zikim.
Promptly responding, Gottlieb and her partner positioned themselves outside the kibbutz, prepared to make contact and eliminate the terrorists. They anxiously awaited the arrival of the terrorists while taking precautions to protect the kibbutz from their entry.
However, as the situation unfolded, reports flooded the police liaison about a terrorist raid at the Sderot police station. Gottlieb and her partner swiftly redirected their attention to the station, aiming to assist their colleagues under attack.
Arriving as the first police officers on the scene, Gottlieb and her partner unexpectedly encountered the van full of terrorists, who immediately fired a barrage of bullets in their direction. Gottlieb sustained a serious injury to her eye socket and suffered damage to her nose and face.
Contrary to assumptions made based on the video, Gottlieb clarified that she and her partner were already under attack and had been sprayed with approximately 100 bullets before passing the van. Additionally, a bullet pierced her hand, causing severe bleeding.
Eventually, the car came to a halt due to the impact of the bullets, and Gottlieb and her partner urgently called for assistance. Amid the chaos, MDA responders were unable to tend to their injuries due to the terrorists’ widespread attacks. Gottlieb was left bleeding for two agonizing hours until someone arrived to stop the bleeding and provide first aid.
Gottlieb was later rescued by a passing policeman and transported to Asuta Hospital in Ashdod, where she received medical treatment. Doctors informed her that she narrowly escaped losing her eye, as the bullet lodged itself into her eye socket. Medical professionals plan to insert platinum into her hand to assist with the fragments.
With just a month left in her police service, Gottlieb is considering whether to sign up permanently. She admits grappling with thoughts of whether she could have done more to save her fellow officers but acknowledges the limitations imposed by her injuries.
Sergeant Yael Gottlieb’s heroic actions and willingness to confront the terrorists, even in the face of severe injury, exemplify the bravery and selflessness of the Israeli police force. As the full story emerges, it becomes clear that judgment should not be hastily passed until all the facts are known.
