December 27th, 2023 – Geniah Weitman is a true terror/war survivor, and not just of WWII, but Iron Swords War as well.
On the morning of October 7th she opened her kitchen window and saw several armed terrorists outside. She was all alone, so she ran through the living room to the backyard, and on her way hit the couch and fell. She was in shock from both the terror and pain in her knee.
Then she got up and walked to the backyard and was saved by an army helicopter above her building that caused the Hamas terrorists to run away and not kill anybody in Geniah’s neighborhood. They also saved Geniah by shouting instructions on loud speaker, ordering her to go back inside and lock herself in. Although partially deaf, she heard and complied. Her son then came to her rescue and managed to pick her up in the midst of the turmoil.
She suffered a minor knee injury and still has pain from hitting her knee while running. To this day she is still scared at night but she doesn’t want to leave Ofakim. She was evacuated 5 days at the Dead Sea, but returned to Ofakim almost right away.
