The former player of English Premier League clubs London “Chelsea”, London “Arsenal” and “Liverpool” and the current sports director of the Israeli national football team described to the domestic publication “Ynet Sport” how his sister’s family was attacked by “Hamas” terrorists.
The terrorists allegedly broke into his sister’s house, which is near the Gaza Strip. Her four children were there, one of whom is a soldier recently returned from training. Benayoun’s sister and her children managed to hide in the attic of the house. While the terrorists were in the house, the sister’s son sent a message to Benayoun: “Yosi, save us. There are terrorists in our living room. Please save us.”
Hamas fighters found a hiding place, but the 20-year-old Sheikh, as Benayoun’s sister’s son is called, decided not to surrender and killed three of the four attackers. Later, grenades were thrown into the house and the family had to escape by jumping out of the window. The house caught fire. They fled to the soldiers of the armed forces of the State of Israel, who brought the family to safety.
“I am shocked. It is a great miracle. I experienced the hardest day of my life. I had already assumed that they were all dead, but thanks to my heroic nephew, a miracle happened,” said Benayoun.
Before that, however, my sister’s husband was attacked by terrorists when he was riding a two-wheeler. Benayoun’s brother-in-law was injured in the arm.
Benayoun is an Israeli soccer legend. He participated in 102 games in the national team, where he scored 24 goals.
