Ori’s daughters went missing during the Hamas invasion in southern Israel. In a video shared on Israel’s official Twitter account, Ori expressed his fear and desperation as he hasn’t been able to reach them since they last spoke. He worries that they might be facing terrible fates such as rape or death in Gaza.
The invasion led to numerous Israeli citizens being captured and held hostage by Hamas fighters. Disturbing videos have surfaced online, showing armed men dragging and marching men and women, including elderly individuals who were left bloodied.
The invasion began with an attack on a music festival near the Gaza border, resulting in the brutal killing of over 250 people, while hundreds were taken captive. Following this, Hamas continued their rocket barrage on Israel, resulting in thousands of deaths. In response, Israel launched airstrikes and attempted to regain control of several cities that had fallen into the hands of Hamas fighters.
The situation has been further complicated by the hostage-taking, hindering the Israeli military’s efforts. Israeli authorities have responded with force, bombing buildings in Gaza and causing numerous casualties, including many innocent children and women.
As the search for Ori’s daughters and other missing civilians continues, Israel faces the challenge of navigating a response that can effectively regain control while minimizing further loss of life. The situation remains tense as the country waits anxiously for updates.
