For 50 days, since his family was kidnapped, Avichai Brodutch barely slept. He engaged in a public and media struggle to save his wife and children, who were kidnapped along with the 4-year-old girl Avigail Idan, their neighbor, who hid with them in the safe room after her parents were murdered.

On the morning of the attack, Avichai heard a knock on the door. When he opened it, he noticed Avigail covered in her father's blood, Roi Idan, who was his good friend. He brought her into the safe room to be with his wife Hagar and three children Ofry, Yuval, and Oria, while he went outside to help other residents. The wife, three kids, and Avigail were ultimately kidnapped to Gaza and returned on Sunday.
