After the Hamas group invaded the event site, Karla sent audio messages to friends, narrating the terror he was experiencing. According to the Brazilian, she managed to find a temporary refuge.


"We went to the nursing home (a type of bunker common in Israel, to protect ourselves. Then the terrorists came and threw a bomb into the nursing home. We ran away. There's a friend of ours who stayed there, she said).

Unfortunately, after sending the messages, this safe location was the target of an attack by the group.

Bruna, who was 24 years old, lived in Israel for eight years, dedicating himself to communication and marketing studies. Bruna lived in the country with her mother and older sister, called Florica. His sister, Nathalia, remained in Rio de Janeiro. Among the three, Bruna was the one who mastered Hebrew most fluently, something that became a barrier in the search for information about Rio.
