‘I was with him until the end’: The untold story of a fallen Oct. 7 hero

“The Quad,” Ep. 11

This week, “The Quad” speaks with Jessica Elter, the girlfriend of Ben Shimoni. Shimoni heroically saved many people at the Nova music festival before his car was ambushed by Hamas terrorists on Oct. 7. He was murdered, and a passenger was kidnapped from his car. Jessica was on the phone with Ben the entire time and revealed new details of the harrowing story.

In addition, “The Quad” talks about Israeli unity: Does it exist, or are the fissures in society from before the atrocities of Oct. 7 again coming to the surface?

And, of course, they note the Scumbags and Heroes of the Week!
