Bracha's daughters, Shai and Shahar, contact her as they used to do in every round of escalation. “Apart from an instruction to be in the safe room we have not received any instructions, everything is being checked,” she tells her daughters who live in the center of Israel.
Bracha updates her daughters that she is in the safe room. Like all residents of the kibbutz, Bracha is used to the Red Color alarm, so that the safe room in her house was arranged and prepared for a long stay.
In the last minutes of her life, Bracha corresponded with her two daughters and granddaughter, Mor. She updates them that she hears nonstop gunfire and asks how they are.
Seven minutes after the last messages in the family group, the terrorists upload a video to Bracha's Facebook account. In the video, Bracha is recorded as she lies in the living room of her blood-filled home and next to her stand three armed terrorists.
Shai is exposed to the video the terrorists uploaded and quickly calls Shahar. Both are shocked and terrified for their mother's fate.
Shai and Shahar, Bracha's daughters, send the Hamas video to Magen David Adom and try to direct them to reach her home. At the same time, they contact many of the residents of the kibbutz for them to quickly go to Bracha's house.
Shahar calls the police and asks that they send forces to Bracha's house.
Bracha's body is burnt along with the contents of her home.
The last of the terrorists leave Kibbutz Nir Oz after kidnapping 72 residents and murdering 36, including Bracha Levinson.
