At the time of the attack on Saturday, Laura, Oron, Tair and Tahel They were in the Kibbutz of Be’eri, in southern Israel, a few kilometers from the Gaza Strip. There is no news about them since then. The family has another son, a soldier who saved his life because he lives with his girlfriend in another house on the same kibbutz.
“There’s a record emerged from Israeli authorities and testimonies from family members. But there is no not all death records are there“, they explained to Clarion from the Chancellery.
They added that “It is very probable” that she is missing because in Israel “they are at war.”
The patchwork story of madness and terror in Israel: “It’s like the Holocaust”
The story of what happened in Be’eri was recorded – while the gunshots and fire devastated the neighborhood – in the hundreds of messages that the victims sent from house to house, between the kibbutz and the rest of the world. your relatives.
The first call occurred at 6 in the morning. Laura contacted Dalia. Both were born and studied in Argentina, but they went to Israel in the 90s. She wanted to know if the sirens sounded in Tel Aviv too. “Later, on WhatsApp, she wrote to me that five murderous terrorists entered the kibbutz and that they were in the shelter. That she was very afraid,” said her twin sister.
Around 9:20 there was another message: it warned that special Army forces had arrived. Half an hour later, Dalia wrote to see how she was doing. Laura never answered.
The story continues to be reconstructed from within Be’eri. From another home, Laura and Oron’s soldier son messaged his parents. They told him that the terrorists were in the room and that they wanted to force entry into the shelter. Around 11 o’clock one of the young women called her brother. Screams, noises and voices in Arabic could be heard. “Afterwards we didn’t know anything more,” Dalia said.
The family of Laura Jazmín, Oron and their children a few years ago. The young man survived the attacks.
The kaledoiscope is completed by Batia, Oron’s sister, who lives in the north of the country. She set an exact timetable for the terror. She “she wrote to me and told me that the family was in the shelter. “That the feeling was like being in the Holocaust, a terrible fear,” she told the Portuguese online newspaper. Sic News.
The details are repeated in all the stories: the silence, the fear of being discovered, the imminent irruption of the terrorists. “They are about to break down our door,” the man told his sister.
It was 10:58. They called Oron, one of her daughters answered. “Terrible screams, blows, voices in Arabic. The call remained open. Since then we had no contact, no information, nothing,” Batia continued.
According to information from official sources, they make up the list of fatalities. Their relatives, however, do not consider them dead.
The discrepancy and the Foreign Ministry’s explanation
On Monday, the Foreign Ministry released an update on the number of Argentine citizens killed in Hamas attacks. In addition, official sources revealed the list of names, which included the identities of the first four dead and those of the three women who were added on the first working day.
“We receive condolences from families in Argentina. They gave me their condolences for the death of my sister. I don’t know how they already published in Argentina that my sister is dead. She is a disgrace,” Dalia said. Nobody tells him what happened to Laura. An Argentine representative in Tel Aviv assured her on Tuesday that she is still on the list of missing people.
“They are not injured or evacuated. I went to the Police, gave a DNA test, all the data I could give them. We do not know anything. We know that they are neither injured nor evacuated. We know they are missing,” he continued about the state of the situation.
The ministry led by Santiago Cafiero said that there is no “consolidated list” of fatalities. “The number was made based on information from Israeli authorities and family members,” they explained. In addition, they clarified that, due to the discrepancies, “it has not been possible to make progress in obtaining more data with the local authorities.” They pointed out that, due to the state of war, death certificates are not being issued.
Dalia, the twin sister of Laura Jazmín Hofman, missing in Israel.
“We were always careful because the data was provided by either Israeli authorities or families, without paper certification, including relatives saying in the media that a relative died,” they added from the Foreign Ministry. “In Israel they don’t finish making lists official either.”
A month ago, Oron and Laura had traveled to Portugal to obtain the citizenship certificate and to process the naturalization of their children. For this reason, Batia demanded that the Portuguese Government intercede so that they are returned “safe and sound.” She continues to believe that her brother, sister-in-law and her nephews were kidnapped by Hamas and are in the Gaza Strip.
Dalia also strongly considers that possibility. “If my family is there (in Gaza), I want them back to me. “I’m not going to stop,” she insisted. Although she also vented her anger and fear about the images circulating from the Strip.
“I don’t know if I prefer to be told that they are dead or that they found the bodies of my family than to have to decide whether this (Israeli) government is going to do something to get them out or not,” Dalia said, crudely.
