The grandmother of a British-Israeli who was killed during the deadly Hamas attack on a music festival has told how the off-duty soldier bravely tried to defend festivalgoers. <\/p>\n

Aner Shapiro is said to have positioned himself in the entrance of a shelter to catch grenades thrown in by the Hamas terrorists. <\/p>\n

His grandmother Yamima Ben-Menahem has said he threw back up to seven grenades before the eight blew up in his hand.<\/p>\n

Hamas is believed to have killed more than 270 Israelis at the Supernova Festival on October 7.<\/p>\n

After Aner Shapiro was killed, Hamas terrorists are understood to have grabbed five or six hostages out of the 30 people who had been sheltering before shooting the rest.<\/p>\n

Yamima Ben-Menahem told Sky News: “When the terrorists came nearer, he stood at the entrance, and when they started throwing grenades into the shelter, he said ‘I’m going to throw them back’, and if I miss one, you do the rest of the work.<\/p>\n

“He just stood there and threw back one grenade after the other.<\/p>\n

“From what his friends told us he managed to throw back about seven grenades, and then the last one exploded in his hands.”<\/p>\n

Next, Hamas turned to the communities near the border striking with no warning and shooting people on sight in the streets and in homes.<\/p>\n

In revenge, the Israeli military began bombarding the Gaza Strip with rockers and artillery sending the civilian death toll in the Palestinian enclave soaring.<\/p>\n
