Matías Burstein, 41 years old, He became the eighth Argentine dead after the attack perpetrated in Israel by Hamas forces, as confirmed by the family and also by the Foreign Ministry.

Burstein had attended the electronic party on Saturday the 7th of this month, near the Gaza Stripwhen the incursion of Muslim terrorists took place, who murdered and kidnapped thousands of spectators.

Earlier today, the last images of Burstein had emerged after the Hamas attack on an electronic party In Israel. There the terrorists murdered 260 people.

Burstein He had been living in Israel since childhood.

In the footage, taken by a stranger’s cell phone, he is seen walking past in a black T-shirt and shorts. Without being able to hear himself precisely, he seems to insult in Hebrew at the traffic jam on a road in the Israeli desertEli.

Matías with his Israeli wife Einav they were trying to escape the massacre of the electronic party that was taking place a few kilometers from the Gaza Strip. Then, with gunshots ringing in his ears, Burstein calls a friend and yells at him about the Hamas attack. After that nothing more had been heard about the marriage. They were not on the lists of victims or those of kidnapped people. by the terrorist group.

The couple left two girls, 12 and 9 years old who still don’t fully understand what happened to their parents. “We started to tell him little by little that there was a problem at the party they went to. And “It’s going to take a while to see them again.”explained Fanny Burstein, grandmother of the girls and mother of Matías.

This week Fanny participated in a zoom with President Alberto Fernández along with families of missing Argentines. “The official lists report 199 people in captivity. However, there would be at least 250 in those conditions”explained the woman.


What is the last thing that was known about the Argentine missing in Israel


“The two disappeared on Saturday. They have two daughters at home. We know nothing about them. If they are alive or if they are dead”. What the Bursteins need, in principle, is some certainty.

With the little information she has, the woman tries to reconstruct the last thing she knows about Matías and his wife. Fanny knows that they went to the electronic party in her car. They had left their daughters with the other grandmother, Einav’s mother. When dawn broke the Hamas attack began. First the rockets and then the terrorists’ invasion of the territories near the Gaza Strip. The attackers tore down the border wall and entered with all-terrain trucks. The Bursteins tried to escape by car after the first alerts about the attack. A bottleneck occurred on the route. Dozens of cars seeking to escape the massacre.

Matías’s car stops and he tries to communicate with his loved ones. He is in the middle of the field and there is almost no signal on his phone. He finally manages to call one of his friends. He said something like they were shooting at the car in which he was trying to escape. “They are shooting at us. “We are hiding”, Matías said before cutting off the communication. Perhaps seconds later he got out of his car and a stranger recorded him looking for a way out of the Hamas ambushes and cursing in Hebrew.
