“They knocked on my door and two came in and asked me where my family was. I told them that she ‘lived alone’ and then they told me: ‘you’re coming with us, this is all going to be on fire,’” the woman began by recounting in a fragment of a documentary that went viral on social networks.

“I told them not to talk to me because I don’t know their language and I speak Hebrew poorly. I speak in Argentine, in Spanish… One of them tells me: ‘What is Argentina?’ And then I ask him: ‘Do you watch football?’ And he says, ‘Yes, I like it,’” he continued.

“’I’m from where Messi is from,’ I told him. And he answered me: ‘Messi? I like Messi. There he grabbed my arm, gave me the revolver (an AK-47 rifle), put his hand like this – with his fingers in a V – and they took a photo of us,” the woman explained about what happened.

Finally, the woman did not want to miss the opportunity in front of the cameras and sent a message to the current ’10’ of Inter Miami, in which she asked him to intercede to rescue her two grandchildren who are in the middle of the armed conflict between Israel and the Hamas terrorist cell.

“Now I hope that, if he knows that I mentioned it and because of him I was saved, I would ask him for my two grandchildren, who are there. He would ask you to please try to get them out because they are worth gold. One is called David and the other is Ariel Cunio,” he asked.
