The group fired several shots before entering the gas station, barely giving employees time to take cover.
In the images published by channel i24News, we can see the workers walking to the back of the store.
According to the Israeli broadcaster, they hid in a refrigerator for several minutes.
The fighters searched every corner of the supermarket in search of hostages or victims.
Two of them went into the back room, where the two employees were hidden in a small cold room.

Miraculously, the two Israelis were not found by their captors.
Products such as drinks and pastries were stolen, but no injuries were reported.
Hamas' surprise attack in Israel left 1,200 dead and thousands injured.
About 130 hostages remain in the hands of Hamas and other terrorist groups in the Gaza Strip.
