Thomas Hand waited two days to discover the fate of his eight-year-old daughter Emily after the Be’eri Kibbutz, where the innocent young girl was at a sleepover with a friend, was attacked by murderous Hamas terrorists leaving more than 100 people dead.
Hand said the kibbutz came under gunfire for about 12 hours that day and he did not know the whereabouts or fate of his child. He spoke with CNN about the tragic relief he felt to know that his daughter died and was not in the hands of Hamas terrorists.

“So death was a blessing, an absolute blessing.
