Amit Buskila made a heartbreaking last call to her family as the Hamas invasion and massacre unfolded on October 7. The horrifying attack led to the deaths of more Jews in a single day than any other since the Holocaust. This atrocity sparked a seven-month long war, as Hamas fights to survive and carry on with their terror attacks against innocent Israelis in their ultimate goal of destroying Israel.
