(Repost from October 18, 2023, reposting this because reportedly one of the terrorists is being released as part of the cease fire agreement))
This is my interview with Tal Hartuv, an artist who also serves as a guide and educator with Yad Vashem. In 2010, she endured a horrific attack by two Hamas terrorists disguised as Israeli police officers while hiking in the hills of Jerusalem with her Christian-American friend, Kristine Luken.
During the attack, the men assaulted both women with machetes. Tragically, Kristine Luken was brutally murdered, while Tal Hartuv, after witnessing the killing of her friend, managed to survive by playing dead.
In April 2017, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia announced that Luken’s killers, Ayad Fatafta and Kifah Ghanimat, would face federal charges for the murder of a U.S. national abroad should they ever be released from Israeli prison.
Despite the unimaginable trauma and hatred she has encountered, Tal Hartuv stands as a beacon of hope, driven by kindness and resilience.
