Zvi Ben Meir was on his way yesterday (Monday) in Gush Talmonim with his children in the car, when terrorists threw stones at them.
Miraculously, the attack ended with only a scratch on the boy's body.
In a post on Facebook, he told about the routine trip and how it ended, thus illustrating the nightmare that Yosh residents go through on the roads in the area. He attached to the post a photo of the interior of the vehicle after the impact under the title "Green lens in a sea of glass".
"Yesterday they threw a stone. At me and the children," he said in the post.
"We were in the car on the way home and a stone was thrown at us. We were going after Neve Tsuf towards the west. A big stone. The sun was in front of us. The boy was eating lentils and talking to me about a gummy popsicle and the girl was just starting to fall asleep. The noise was loud and the children were frightened and cried terribly and the window of the car next to the boy was completely shattered And the car is full of glass. I was afraid they would shoot so I told them to duck. Then I thought, what's the point of ducking.
"I realized it was a stone. I told them, everything will be fine, I'll just drive fast and stop in a safe place, but there is no safe place" he recalled the difficult moments.
"They already know it. All the children in this country already know it. You can race the car like that west to the Mediterranean Sea and keep diving into it like a fictional ship and there is no safe place."
"We stopped in the bay by a station and I called the police. She and the army came, checked and asked again and again checked and asked again. The boy was scratched a bit and he bled a little and the girl helped me get wipes from the car. Then the children sat on the station bench by the bay as if they were waiting for a bus that would never come And the stone hit the bin under the window so she didn't go inside and the children asked, but who threw. Who threw. the stone. And in the end they calmed down but their father didn't calm down," shared Ben Meir.
"In the evening we sat together and the boy said he doesn't want to drive on this road anymore but the road is the way home. To mom's house and dad's house. This road is the twisted thread tied to his and our safety. Every time you pass there, we told the boy and the girl, remember that nothing happened to you that despite the bad stone and the violence and the evil and the anger and the hatred, nothing happened to you. You were not touched. And remember that you are healthy and whole and loved and loving and full of joy and longing. And say child, if you want, from now on and forever, blessed that he did a miracle for me in this place. Even if you don't believe in miracles . Or welcome. It doesn't matter. This is this place," Ben Meir concluded the chilling post.
