He then reportedly put himself in the firing line when Hamas gunmen approached, blocking the entrance to the hideaway and throwing back grenades launched by the terrorists. Mr Shapiro has been hailed by a survivor of the attack as the 'angel who guarded us' who 'saved our lives and he deserves a a medal of honour'
'When they started throwing grenades into the shelter, he said"I'm going to throw them back and if I miss one you do the rest of the work",' she shared, adding: 'He stood there and threw back one grenade after the other'. After the incident, Ms Ben-Menahem said that some of the survivors reached out to their family to say that Mr Shapiro 'saved our lives'.
At least 260 partygoers lost their lives in the vicious massacre. Some victims hid in skips, others in portable toilets, before they were found and either gunned down, or savagely beaten before being taken hostage. More than 1,400 people in Israel have been killed, according to Israeli officials, mostly civilians who died in the initial Hamas rampage.
The crisis was part of a humanitarian catastrophe that saw the UN admit it could be forced to stop its aid work in the territory. It said operations would halt last night if it could not get fuel to run emergency shelters where some 600,000 people have sought refuge. In a televised statement on Wednesday night, Mr Netanyahu declined to provide any details or time-scale for the planned attack, and said decisions would be made by his government's special war cabinet.'Simultaneously, we are preparing for a ground invasion. I will not elaborate on when, how or how many. I will also not elaborate on the various calculations we are making, which the public is mostly unaware of and that is how things should be.
Israel has carried out days of intense bombardment of the densely populated Gaza Strip following the attack. It claimed on Wednesday to have killed the commander of Hamas’s North Khan Younis Battalion, Taysir Mubasher. Adele Khodr, UNICEF regional director for the Middle East and North Africa, said: 'The situation in the Gaza Strip is a growing stain on our collective conscience. The rate of death and injuries of children is simply staggering.
A Palestinian man carries a wounded woman after recovering her from the rubble of a destroyed area following Israeli air strikes in Gaza City At the Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, the largest hospital in Gaza, doctors warned that 150 patients were on ventilators and would die if they were switched off. It released satellite imagery showing what it said were fuel tanks inside Gaza, saying: 'They contain more than 500,000 litres of fuel. Ask Hamas if you can have some.'
Its Middle East director Sally Abi Khalil said: 'The situation is nothing short of horrific - where is the humanity? Millions of civilians are being collectively punished in full view of the world, there can be no justification for using starvation as a weapon of war.'
