Wife of Elad Salomon says husband ‘fought back,’ saving their children
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.
