Equipped with his gun, Vladimir set off alone to fight the terrorists. He encountered several of them near Moshav Yachini, managing to eliminate two despite sustaining a stomach injury during the fight. He then drove himself to Soroka Medical Center..
En route, Vladimir came to the aid of two partygoers who had been to the festival in Reim, saving their lives and taking them to the emergency room. His actions exemplify the extraordinary commitment displayed by civilians who took it upon themselves to defend their nation and fellow citizens.
Olga Nachlieli, an experienced occupational therapist at Soroka, recounted, “Vladimir was rushed to the occupational therapy unit for urgent care. We fitted him with a plastic splint to support his injured hand and arranged for further treatment at an outpatient facility, aiming for complete rehabilitation.
