On the morning of October 7, a minibus with retirees leaves for a trip to the Dead Sea. The retirees came from Ofakim, Netivot and Sderot. Shortly after entering Sderot two tire punctures are discovered in the vehicle, and the vehicle stops on the main road to change the tire. When the massive rocket fire towards Israel begins, the travelers try to enter a shelter, but are unable to open the front door.

A police volunteer who passed by on the street and a neighbor who saw their distress, try to help them to open the shelter. Each of them goes to get a tool to open the door and help the frightened retirees, while at the same time a pick-up truck withy terrorists stops next to them, and shots all 13 retirees. The neighbor and the volunteer survived, and also the minibus driver.
