Heroic Israeli Woman Outwits Hamas with Snacks, Earns Biden's Praise

Rachel Edri, a 65-year-old woman from Ofakim, Israel, has become a folk hero after serving tea and snacks to Hamas militants who had entered her home during the Israel-Hamas war. Edri's quick thinking and hospitality helped calm the gunmen, allowing her to engage them in conversation and even forget momentarily that they were terrorists. After 17 hours, a rescue team was able to save Edri and her husband with the help of their son, who provided a sketch of the house. Edri's actions have been praised as a symbol of the ingenuity and resilience of everyday Israelis during the conflict.
