so, my sister was holding geffen in her arms, they were jumping out of the moving car, started to runoon after, the terrorists started to run after them, shooting at them, and my sister did another act, a motherly outcome and she decided to separate herself from the most precious thing that she has in her life, which is geffen, and she gave her to alon and he was able to run faster, while my sister was holding her hands above her head, stalling the terrorists, allowing alon and geffen to find a hiding spot. they were able to hide, and only after 2a hours without food, without water, no communication, complete silence, with three years old, they managed to reach out and save themselves back to the entrance of the kibbutz, to the idf. but my sister is a mother now separated from her child, and we are waiting for her to be released, we know that we are talking still about children and women and mothers mostly, and my niece is waiting over 50 days to see her mother back, the mother who saved her life. gili, have you heard anything about your sister, do you know if she could be on the list
