Ashkelon, Israel (CNN) -- Malka Davidovich's Sunday started as her days normally do. She went to work. A nurse, Davidovich arrived at the Barzilai Medical Center in Ashkelon, Israel, where she was told her son, an Israeli soldier, was in the emergency room. "The truth is, I didn't even know he was in Gaza," she said. "So I ran to the emergency room and found him among a few other soldiers who were also wounded and had just arrived. To my joy, he was conscious, and he spoke to me, and my heart just kept going boom, boom, boom," said Davidovich.
