Speaking a day after the burial of her husband at the Givat Shaul cemetery in Jerusalem, Tal Ovadia, Yotam's widow and mother of two children, said that she did not know what to do "now with respect to my children … I do not know how to continue and be strong for children, we were all for him, the house was his kingdom.

Tal described Yotam as a decent, modest, humble man and a hard worker. "He loved me and the children in a way that I had never seen in my life," said the widow in mourning, who is now raising her two sons – two-year-old Harel and ten months, and Itay seven months old – alone.
"Everything he did was for us, he always made sure things were good, he always went last," she said.
Tal mentioned that on the day of his death, Yotam returned home from work with a bouquet of flowers and chocolates to celebrate Tisha B & Av.
"We took a picture together and he was happy, after sleeping the children, he went to get the grocery store from his parents, but he never went there", she added.
"Whatever I wanted or asked for, he did and he loved me in a way that did not exist," Tal repeated. "He realized all my dreams, I always told him," You are the only one, my one and only person. "
When Chief Superintendent Eli Ovadia, commander of the Binyamin Police Station, opened the investigation into the incident, he discovered that the man who had been seriously injured in the attack was his cousin, who later succumbed to his injuries.
"As I prepared to leave my house, I gave instructions to the forces that arrived on the scene," Supt. Ovadia said.
"At that time I had not spoken to my cousins yet, approaching the community I realized that it was happening in the street where my cousins live – the parents from Avraham and Karmella-Yotam who live a few houses away from home, but I did not want to believe it, "he adds.
" I arrived at the scene and immediately l & # 39; one of the neighbors told me that Yotam was the injured one. It was a shock. Total shock. I almost exploded inside and my stomach was torn, "said the policeman.
Ovadia continued to preside over the investigation, he said, while praying for Yotam's well-being.

"On the one hand, I have to maintain my composure and continue to manage the area." But the uncles have already started to "It's a moment that I do not wish anyone. I was on the ground and I had to work while praying at the same time for my beloved nephew," he said. Ovadia recalls:
Two hours later, Ovadia received the news that Yotam had succumbed to his wounds. "No one can digest the fact that Yotam is no longer with us. We hugged each other and since then we have been crying, "he said.
"I've always thought I was safe from crying.When it's your family, your stomach turns around.You know you're at work and you do not can not work on the emotion, but inside it's a storm.This was a difficult time. "
