October 7 survivor Erez Yasken
EXCLUSIVE - August 20, 2025 - Ramat Gan, Israel: On October 7, 2023, Erez Yasken (57) from Kfar Aza Kibbutz was injured while holding the door from the inside as it was bombed by Hamas terrorists. He threw himself in front of his wife and daughter and held the front door shut, doing everything in his power to keep the terrorists from entering his home. Determined to get in, they fired rounds into the door and even tried blowing it off the frame with explosives. Despite being hurt, Erez never gave up holding that door closed, knowing that if they came in, it would be over for him and his loved ones. With severe injuries to his legs and hands, Erez believed that at any moment the army would come to the rescue, but hours would pass before they arrived. When they finally did, he was in the middle of a firefight between terrorists and the armed forces. Upon discovering him, army officials moved Erez to a house with a paramedic, but it wasn’t good enough. They saw that he had to be evacuated out of the Kibbutz and given serious medical care. While speeding out of Kfar Aza in the back of an army vehicle, they were ambushed by terrorists trying to thwart their escape. Two soldiers suffered fatal injuries, but the driver and Erez were unscathed. He finally made it to Sheba Medical Center where he underwent 12 surgeries in his hands and is scheduled to be operated again in the future. Erez is still attending daily rehabilitation sessions in Tel Hashomer hospital. (Ziv Koren/Polaris) (FOTO:DUKAS/POLARIS)

With severe injuries to his legs and hands, Erez believed that at any moment the army would come to the rescue, but hours would pass before they arrived. When they finally did, he was in the middle of a firefight between terrorists and the armed forces. Upon discovering him, army officials moved Erez to a house with a paramedic, but it wasn’t good enough. They saw that he had to be evacuated out of the Kibbutz and given serious medical care. While speeding out of Kfar Aza in the back of an army vehicle, they were ambushed by terrorists trying to thwart their escape. Two soldiers suffered fatal injuries, but the driver and Erez were unscathed. He finally made it to Sheba Medical Center where he underwent 12 surgeries in his hands and is scheduled to be operated again in the future. Erez is still attending daily rehabilitation sessions in Tel Hashomer hospital. (Ziv Koren/Polaris) (FOTO:DUKAS/POLARIS)
