Yahav Winner and Shai-Lee Atari – From on Kfar Aza, 7 October | Kan 7.10.360

On 6 October, the funeral of Laurian Enrico Navon, Yahav Winner's grandfather, took place at the cemetery in Kibbutz Kfar Aza. During the service, Yahav, a 37-year-old filmmaker, delivered a eulogy, saying, "We will meet again in heaven." The following day, as red alerts blared, Yahav, his wife—34-year-old singer and creator Shai-Lee Atari—and their one-month-old daughter, Shaya, take shelter in their home's safe room. Seven years earlier, Shai-Lee was in a car accident, and since then, she has used a cane for walking support

Hearing gunfire outside, Yahav suspects terrorists had infiltrated the kibbutz. He messages his friends, asking, "What is this gunfire?" A few minutes later, one replies, "They're shooting outside my house."

Yahav spots terrorists outside his home and begins recording them. All the while, he presses against the safe room door, while Shai-Lee holds Shaya in her arms

The terrorists force open the safe room's window shutter and attempt to break in. Yahav struggles to hold them back, exchanging a final glance with Shai-Lee. At that moment, she understands what she must do—she grabs Shaya and runs away. At first, the two hide behind bushes outside the house. Soon after, they move to a neighbor’s laundry room, a small wooden shed. There, they crouch behind a washing machine, concealed beneath pots and sacks of fertilizer. Desperate to protect her daughter, Shai-Lee finds a hammer and grips it tightly for self-defense

The terrorists break into the house through the safe room window and set the room on fire. Yahav manages to escape to an inner room, locking the door behind him. To keep the smoke from spreading, he places a wet towel under the door and barricades it with Shaya’s stroller. Moments later, the terrorists force their way in and murder him

Michal, Yahav's mother, and Liron HaCohen, his sister-in-law, desperately try to reach him, but their attempts are in vain

After nearly two hours of hiding, Shaya begins to cry. Hearing terrorists approaching, Shai-Lee quickly flees with her to another location. They reach the home of their kibbutz neighbours, Liron and Zoli Mor, the uncles of Abigail Idan. Spotting Shai-Lee and Shaya on their security camera, Liron and Zoli immediately open the door for them. Once inside, Shai-Lee calls Yahav’s father, Ofer, to update him on what had happened. Meanwhile, Liron and Zoli’s children gently comfort Shaya

As the hours go by without a response from Yahav, his sister-in-law calls Soroka Hospital in Beersheba. A nurse answers and informs her that Yahav has been admitted to the emergency room. Liron quickly updates Yahav's mother, but about an hour and a half later, they discover the information is incorrect

In the evening, a fire breaks out in the neighboring house to Liron and Zoli's, and the smoke seeps into their home, making it difficult for Shaya to breathe. Meanwhile, Yahav’s sister, Daniel Winner, arrives at a police station to provide details about him

Security forces arrive at the house, rescuing Shai-Lee, Shaya, and the Mor family. They evacuate them to a gas station outside the kibbutz. Shaya, still struggling to breathe due to the smoke inhalation, requires medical attention. Uri Atari, Shai-Lee’s brother and a combatant in the security forces, arrives at the station and transports Shai-Lee and Shaya in a military vehicle to Netivot. From there, an ambulance takes them to Soroka Hospital
