Son of Neveh Tzuf terror victim recounts how father's warning saved his life
Son of Neveh Tzuf terror victim Yoav Chkroun recounted how his father's warning saved his life on Tuesday, KAN News reported. The 16-year-old shared the harrowing incident with his father, Netanel Chkroun, who had just finished his immersion ahead of Yom Kippur. As they were in the car, Netanel shouted to Yoav, "Yoav, there's a terrorist here, or it's an attack - Run!"
Despite the warning, Netanel was shot at while Yoav ran away. Yoav hid between bushes until military forces arrived. The experience left him reflecting on the true meaning of Yom Kippur. Yoav expressed his gratitude to his father, thanking him for saving his life during Netanel's funeral. Netanel, a father of six, worked as an information systems analyst at Hachshara Insurance Company.
He was remembered as a man of kindness, humility, and love for his fellow man, who was murdered just after finishing his immersion with his son.
