Michal Salomon, wife of murdered Elad Salomon who is being buried today together with his father Yosef and sister Chaya, tells Channel 2 that her husband fought back against the terrorist during Friday’s attack.

“I know from his wounds and from what I was told [by investigators] that he fought back.”

While 19-year-old Palestinian Omar al-Abed launched his attack at the family home in Halamish, Michal Salomon whisked their children away to a locked room in the house and hid them.

“I think as soon as the incident began, Elad and I had an unspoken agreement,” she tells Channel 2 in an interview. “He saw me and I understood my job was to take the children away and his was to fight to delay the terrorist,” saving the children.
