October 7 testimony, Keren Zehavi, Yakhini

On Saturday morning, upon hearing the sirens, Keren Zahavi felt this time was different, but did not grasp the severity of the situation. Her sister, Shiran, called and told her that her son, Yehonatan (aged 18), who was staying at their parents' house, had been shot and wounded, and that there were terrorists in the moshav (cooperative agricultural community). Shiran also instructed Keren to go into the safe room and lock the house, and told her to call for help for Yehonatan. Her sister, Hadar, was tending to Yehonatan. At the same time, in the safe room, Keren, her son and daughter tried to get help from every anyone they could, but did not succeed. Keren spoke on the phone with the wounded Yehonatan again and again, until Hadar called and told her that she was couldn't save him, and suggested that Keren say goodbye to him. Keren said goodbye to Yehonatan with words of love. Only in the evening did they receive permission to leave their home and go to her parents' house, where his body lay.
