An Israeli-American teenager says both of his parents were killed in front of him when Hamas militants broke into the family's kibbutz and sprayed bullets through the windows.
Rotem Mathias, 16, says his mother tried shielding him from the bullets with her body before she died.
"The terrorists shot open the door," Mathias recalled during an interview with ABC News. "They throw a grenade or something that exploded. The last thing my dad said is he lost his arm and then my mom died on top of me.""I just stopped my breathing, I lowered it down as much as I possibly could," Mathias told ABC News. "I didn't move. I was terrified. I didn't make any noise.
Meanwhile, the war, which has claimed at least 2,300 lives on both sides, is expected to escalate: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu joined with a top political rival Wednesday to create a war-time Cabinet overseeing the fight to avenge Hamas' attack.Boy shot when bullets came through wall of SE Houston church, HPD says
