Tel Aviv: A Malayali woman employed in Israel as a caregiver, shared her horrific experience of her struggle trying to protect civilians from Hamas terrorists. Israel embassy in India shared a video of Sabitha who is employed as a nurse in Israel. The video relays the heroic actions of Sabitha and Meera Mohanan as they prevented Hamas terrorists from breaking in and harming the Israelis under their care. The embassy’s caption praised them as “Indian superwomen” for their bravery in holding the door and preventing the Hamas terrorists from breaking in and killing them.
In the video, Sabitha is seen saying, “I have been working along the border for three years. We are two caregivers working at home here, taking care of an old lady with the ALS disease…It was my night duty and I was about to leave when around 6:30 we heard the sirens and ran to a safety room. It was non-stop.”
“Suddenly, the old woman’s daughter told us things were getting out of hand. We didn’t know what to do…she asked to lock the front and back doors. Within a few minutes, we heard the terrorists breaking into our house, shooting, breaking glasses. We were there for half an hour holding onto the door. The terrorists were in the house from almost 7:30…they were trying to open the door from outside but we tried our best to hold on to the door. They hit the door and shot at it,” Sabitha said. The caregiver added that while the shooting stopped after a while, they heard it again around 1 pm.
“Schmulik – the father of the house – told us that Israel’s army had come to save us. He went out of the house to see how everything was completely destroyed. My emergency bag was taken…We never expected a terrorist attack but we knew missiles would be falling and when it happened, we used to go into the safety rooms. But on that day, there was no time for us to do anything,” she said.

On Wednesday, the war between Israel and Hamas entered its 12th day, resulting in a toll of over 4,000 lives since it began on October 7. People who have been displaced have sought refuge in hospitals, hoping for safety in their vicinity. Meanwhile, the IDF (Israel Defense Forces) issued a call for the residents of Gaza City to evacuate south for their protection. The IDF urged Palestinians to relocate to Al-Mawasi, where international humanitarian aid will be provided as necessary.
Earlier an explosion at a hospital in Gaza killed nearly 200 people according to Israeli Media. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the explosion was the result of a misfired rocket from the Islamic Jihad in Gaza.
“The entire world should know: It was barbaric terrorists in Gaza that attacked the hospital in Gaza, and not the IDF. Those who brutally murdered our children also murder their own children” the Israeli Prime Minister said.
