A chilling video that has just been released appears to show the moment an off-duty Israeli soldier throws a grenade at Hamas terrorists after they throw him into a crowded bomb shelter, where he is eventually killed.
Staff Sgt. Aner Shapira, 22, was among a group of Israelis attending the Tribe of Nova music festival who fled to a shelter in Kibbutz Re’im on October 7 as Hamas launched its invasion of the Jewish state.
Shapira’s mother has told Kan News that her son stood near the entrance of the shelter to protect the approximately 30 people hiding inside.
“He stood at the entrance, and threw a grenade out and he managed to save so many people,” he said in Hebrew.
A four-minute dash cam video posted Tuesday by the South First Responders group on Telegram shows terrorists throwing a grenade into a shelter before a man runs.

They were then seen opening fire on the fleeing Israelis, who were apparently killed.
Terrorists were also seen apparently firing rocket-propelled grenades at the structure while spraying them with bullets and also throwing grenades.
As they did so, Shapira threw at least seven unexploded grenades back at them as they ran for cover, according to the video.

The soldier was eventually fatally wounded when the grenade exploded, but not before he rescued about seven other Israelis inside the shelter, according to the Times of Israel.
“Shapira eventually succumbed to injuries sustained while holding the terrorist, as he fought to save the lives of his friends who were present,” South First Responders said Tuesday.
“Some of those he protected survived the attack on the sanctuary to tell his heroic story,” the group added.

During the incident, Israeli-American Hersh Goldberg-Polin, 23, was seen looking dazed and shocked shortly after the terrorist blew up his hand in the attack.
His parents, Rachel Goldberg and Jon Polin, said they were determined to bring their son home.

They recently paid tribute to Shapira’s bravery.
“He’s a real hero,” Goldberg said.

Shapira is the great-grandson of Haim Moshe Shapira, the former Israeli minister who signed Israel’s Declaration of Independence.
In 1957, he was reportedly injured when a Jewish immigrant threw a grenade into an Israeli government building.
