Shlomo Margalit speaks with Dave Naylor in Israel

Shlomo Margalit, who helped found the kibbutz in 1957, said at first he thought the alarms going off were just run-of-the-mill, part of the routine living only two kilometres from the Gaza border.

"We realized (this time) it's a different story. At 6:45 a.m. we hear Arabic shouting. We realized something was happening. We thought, okay, one group, five people, they infiltrated. The army would come in 15 minutes to fix it."
