Then the journalistic WhatsApp groups began exchanging questions that had no clear answers. One of them said that there was a landing operation. Landing where, how, and who carried it out?!! Then the news began to become clear, the picture began to arrive, and our eyes bulged in front of an operation that would change us and change the world. Gliders carrying Qassam soldiers penetrated the airspace along the Gaza border, and fighters stormed the border up to sixty kilometers between Gaza and the occupied territories on the envelope, reaching dozens of settlements where more than fifty thousand settlers live. They arrested soldiers and settlers and returned with them to Gaza under heavy Qassam rocket cover. What is this madness?! How did this happen?! It was unusual news, a shock that we could not comprehend, just like Israel, which remained under its influence for long hours. I ran to my husband, woke him up from his sleep. I was laughing, crying, wondering, and very afraid. What happened?! My daughter came in holding her phone and following the pictures that were randomly being circulated on social media, of settlers being taken from their homes and families by the Qassam Brigades. Young men took pictures of themselves in a moment of excitement next to the prisoners and hostages and posted them on their pages. My daughter threw the news in detail to her awake father, who laughed in disbelief. Then he confirmed it himself after opening his laptop from the media sources that began to transmit the news. He said one sentence while staring at my face: "Do you know what this means?!! It means that Israel will annihilate us all."
