Israeli woman who cooked for her Hamas captors saved with help of police-officer son
The amazing details of the rescue surfaced Tuesday, after Rachel Edri and her husband David had been held captive inside their Ofakim resident, located 25 miles from Gaza, by Hamas terrorists for 20 hours.
The couple’s son, Evi, who is a police officer, would soon become part of the operation that freed the couple.
Evi walked into his parents’ home, armed with a pistol, to find his mother being restrained at the neck by a terrorist who held a grenade in his other hand, threatening to kill her, according to ABC News, who spoke to the family.
Rachel held up five fingers over her face to indicate to her son that there were five captors in the home.
While in captivity, Rachel made sure to keep her captors well-fed, telling ABC News: “I knew that if they are hungry, they are angry.”
During those hours, Rachel entertained her unwanted guests by cooking, offering cookies and coffee and asking for Arabic lessons.
“I told him I had to inject insulin, trying to distract them from the fact I have children who are police officers … I offered them drinks: Coke Zero, water,” she told Haaretz.
In a bid to buy more time, Rachel began talking and joking around with her captors.
“I said, ‘I’ll teach you Hebrew and you’ll teach me Arabic,'” she told the local outlet. “I understood that it was a matter of life and death.”
Around midnight, the couple was rescued.
