The parents of Alexandre Look, 33, believe they heard the moment their son was killed by Hamas militants during a video call he made as he fled the attack on a music festival.
Shortly before midnight Eastern time on Saturday, Montreal resident Raquel Ohnona says she received a video call from her son, Alexandre Look, that would shatter her family forever., where he was vacationing with friends and had been attending a music festival about five kilometres from the border with Gaza. But the festivities had been interrupted bymilitants storming into Israel, and Ohnona could hear screams and gunfire in the background as her son spoke to her.
With cars of armed Hamas militants roaming the streets, Look’s group had nowhere to run, and Ohnona said she heard an Israeli security agent urging everyone to stay put. She said her son took it upon himself to act as lookout, scanning the area from the door-less entryway of the shelter. Ohnona’s husband, Alain Look, picked up the phone she dropped “to see if there was any hope” their son was still alive, she said. But all he could hear was gunfire and people rejoicing in Arabic.Israel-Gaza crisis: Canadian man killed, several missing in Hamas attack
“He fought a good fight,” Ohnona said. “He screamed, he yelled, he grabbed a knife. He did whatever he could until, of course, the coward shot him in the back, another one.Ohnona and Alain Look said that according to the survivor, the militants then threw 15 grenades into the bunker “for good measure.”The grieving parents say they have been receiving overwhelming support from friends, family and the larger Jewish community in Montreal in the days since Look was killed.
