Israeli UFC fighter, Natan Levy, finds himself approximately 25-30 miles away from the ongoing attacks by Hamas on his homeland, and the scene he describes is nothing short of horrifying. Originally visiting Israel to attend a family wedding, Levy had no idea that he would soon be witnessing the terror that unfolded before him.
Key Takeaway
UFC fighter Natan Levy speaks out about the ongoing attacks by Hamas in Israel, describing it as a war zone and emphasizing the need for Israel to retaliate to protect its citizens. Levy calls for the rescue of hostages and urges the international community to recognize the war crimes being committed.
A Sudden Change of Plans
Levy, a 32-year-old athlete, had planned to spend quality time with his family during his visit. However, everything changed when he and his loved ones were forced to go into survival mode. As the sirens blared in the area, the family quickly sought shelter in a nearby bunker, assuming it was just another missile launch, a sadly common occurrence in the region. Little did they know, Hamas militants were infiltrating on foot and targeting innocent civilians.
Levy opens up about his experience, saying, “What’s happening, it’s not far from here. It’s a war zone, and it’s just by the hand of God that I’m not inside the war zone.”
Horrific Acts and Retaliation
The reports of Hamas beheading babies and burning people alive deeply disturb Levy. While hoping for minimal civilian casualties, he believes that Israel has no choice but to retaliate forcefully. He expresses, “I think we’re going to have to attack – they’ve left us no choice. Hopefully, the least amount of civilians get hurt, but all of the blood is on their hands.”
Levy emphasizes the urgency to rescue the numerous hostages held by Hamas, emphasizing the inhumane tactics used to manipulate and control innocent lives. “We’ve got to strike back. And we’ve got to get as many people out as possible, as fast as possible. The way they hold people hostage is not humane; it’s crimes against humanity.”
The situation in Israel remains critical as the conflict between Israel and Hamas escalates. The world watches closely as innocent lives are at stake, hoping for a swift resolution and an end to the violence.
