אומץ בקריית שמונה

Kiryat Shmona Courage


פרק ראשון | Chapter One

The fire was in an apartment building. Three floors.

"!יש פצועים בפנים!" yelled Merav, the paramedic. "There are wounded inside!"

"!אני נכנס!" Tal the firefighter ran in. "I'm going in!"

She waited outside, heart pounding.


פרק שני | Chapter Two

He emerged, carrying a child. Alive.

"את יכולה לטפל?" "Can you treat?"

"כן." She took over. "Yes."

Their eyes met. Soot and sweat. Something sparked.

"תודה," she said later. "Thank you."

"?על מה?" "For what?"

"שאתה אמיץ." "For being brave."

"גם את." "You too."


פרק שלישי | Chapter Three

Emergency after emergency. They always ended up together.

"זה מקרי?" "Is this coincidence?"

"אני מבקש להיות באותן קריאות שלך." "I request to be on the same calls as you."

"?למה?" "Why?"

"כי כשאת שם, אני יותר אמיץ." "Because when you're there, I'm braver."


פרק רביעי | Chapter Four

His apartment after a long shift.

"!אנחנו עמיתים!" "We're colleagues!"

"לא רשמית." "Not officially."

"!אם יגלו—" "If they find out—"

"אז מה? אנחנו מצילים חיים ביום. אנחנו מותרים לחיות בלילה." "So what? We save lives by day. We're allowed to live at night."


פרק חמישי | Chapter Five

A rocket hit Kiryat Shmona. They were both called.

"!מראב!" "Merav!"

"!טל!" "Tal!"

They found each other in the chaos. Worked together. Saved five people.

"?תינשאי לי?" he asked in the ambulance. "Will you marry me?"

"!עכשיו? פה?" "Now? Here?"

"אין מקום יותר מתאים." "There's no more appropriate place."


הסוף | The End

בקריית שמונה, גיבורים חיים בשקט. הם לא מחפשים תהילה. רק את הרגע הבא להציל.

In Kiryat Shmona, heroes live quietly. They don't seek glory. Only the next moment to save.
