When terrorists stormed a synagogue in Jerusalem neighborhood, killing five, an Arab paramedic was among the first to arrive on the scene.
In November 2014, two terrorists entered a synagogue in the Har Nof neighborhood of western Jerusalem and assaulted the worshipers with knives and axes while shooting at them. Five died in the attack, and another victim succumbed to his wounds a year later.
Yaakov, a paramedic who lives near the synagogue, and Eyad, an Arab paramedic who works alongside Yaakov, describe the events during that traumatic time and how their friendship grew even stronger.
