An Israeli soldier has miraculously lived to tell how Hamas shot her 12 times on October 7 and stood motionless among her dead friends “waiting for the last bullet.”
Israel Defense Forces First Lieutenant Eden Ram, who is now up and walking again, described in an emotional online post how she was stationed at the base in the southern Urim district with 12 other soldiers when they were ambushed by the terrorists, and the gunmen shot Ram. he on her leg just as she arrived at the base’s Operations Room.
Trapped in the room, the wounded soldier and six fellow service members could do nothing but wait until Hamas broke through all the security doors until they finally caught up with the IDF troops, unleashing a volley of gunfire at them, he recalled.
“Throughout all of this, I wasn’t sure if I was alive or dead,” Ram wrote on October7.org about the moment 12 bullets hit her body.
“I felt dead, but I could still see, hear and feel. I waited for the last bullet that would hit me and kill me, but it never came,” she said.

Despite resigning herself to death (Ram even sent farewell messages to her loved ones before Hamas stormed the gates), she was found alive even after being riddled with bullets and playing dead for four hours while the terrorists searched the bodies.
She said that as she lay in a pool of her own blood surrounded by dead friends and colleagues, she felt the breath of her friend Sahar, who also survived the attack.
Once the coast was clear, Sahar immediately helped treat Ram, who had gunshot wounds to his legs, left arm and shoulder.

“I was in so much pain that I couldn’t say a word; the angels came to save me,” Ram said of the moment more soldiers and rescuers arrived at the base.
“They took me to Soroka hospital [in Beer Sheba]and on the way, I immediately asked to call my family and tell them that I was alive against all odds.”
The first 48 hours in the hospital were grueling, as she received two life-saving operations, and doctors put her on ventilation for the next three days while keeping her heavily sedated.

Despite the damage to his body, Ram said, he should be able to regain full function in his limbs.
Ram accelerated his rehabilitation and last week received an award from Israeli President Isaac Herzog for bravery on October 7.
During the ceremony, she said she was delighted to be back on her feet and described her recovery as nothing short of a miracle.
“The difficult moments will be with me forever,” he said. “I had difficult thoughts about whether I was alive and if I could hold on, but then a miracle called to me.”
