Elon Musk Responds After Israeli Man Claims Tesla Saved Him From Hamas Attack

The ongoing tussle between Israel and Palestine is indeed a heartbreaking one. For all the right reasons? Indeed for all the right reasons. Their issues have persisted for a long time now however the current issue begins with the Hamas’ surprise attack on Israel.

The surprise attack by Hamas on Israel on October 7th, 2023, resulted in a devastating loss of life, with hundreds of casualties and thousands of injuries. The conflict between these two nations is not a recent development; it has deep historical roots. The hope remains that this longstanding issue does not escalate into a full-blown crisis and can eventually be resolved.

Further counterattacks via Israeli forces have worsened the situation a lot more than one could anticipate. Amid this, an Israeli mam claimed that his Tesla car saved him from Hamas gunmen.

An Israeli man claims that he successfully saved himself from the Hamas gunmen, all because of his Tesla car

‘C,’ a resident of Kibbutz Mefalsim and a dedicated member of the settlement’s emergency team, recently shared a harrowing experience involving a confrontation with Hamas militants and the remarkable durability of a Tesla vehicle. His tale came to the limelight via Gilad Alper, who serves as the leader of Israel’s Freedom Party.

From his hospital bed, ‘C’ shared a chilling encounter where he was targeted by Hamas militants in a Toyota truck armed with heavy weaponry. They fired at his car, not realizing it was a Tesla Model 3, hitting the tires but not the nonexistent engine. What is worth noting is that ‘C’ accelerated, and despite the damaged tires, the Tesla’s impressive speed allowed him to escape. He pushed the car to its limits, reaching 112 mph with deflated tires. The car’s battery remained cool despite being shot multiple times, enabling his escape. Although ‘C’ was wounded, Tesla’s performance played a crucial role in his survival.

Gilad Alper took to X (formerly known as Twitter) in order to narrate the whole tale with evidence such as pictures.
