The 85-year-old who chose to die to save his family. On October 7, Hamas terrorists went from house to house in Kibbutz Nahal Oz. Shlomo Ron, 85, understood what was happening - but he had a plan. He told his wife, two daughters, and grandson to hide in the safe room. They tried to convince him to come inside with them. He refused. Shlomo believed that if the terrorists entered and found an old man sitting alone in the living room, they would assume he lived alone, kill him, and move on without searching the rest of the house. So he sat down in his armchair and waited. The terrorists entered. They saw Shlomo alone. They shot him dead—and moved on without searching the rest of the house. Exactly as he had hoped. His wife, daughters, and grandson survived. Shlomo Ron, one of the founders of Nahal Oz, was 85 years old and unarmed. His final act was to give his life to protect his family. #October7Heroes #October7
