Abbey Onn, an American whose family lives in Israel, talks about realizing her loved ones were abducted by terrorists and how she maintains hope for their return.
An American whose family was taken hostage by Hamas said their abduction — rather than their death — is «the worse of two evils.»
Abbey Onn, who’s lived in Israel for eight years, had no idea what had happened to her five loved ones living near the Gaza border after the terror group, Hamas, invaded their community, Nir Oz, Saturday morning.
«The last messages we saw [was] around 11 or 12 in the morning saying they don’t know what’s going on and that they’re scared,» Onn told Fox News, «and from one of them saying that this was a holocaust.»
After that, the messages stopped. Hours later, the Israeli Defense Forces regained control of the area and found Hamas had burned the entire community to nothing.
Over the weekend, Hamas launched thousands of rockets into Israel as hundreds of terrorists attacked on foot, breaching the barrier between Gaza and Israel and massacring civilians in nearby areas. In response, the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered a «complete siege» on Gaza, dropping bombs on over 2,300 «Hamas targets.»
Hamas killed over 1,200 people in Israel, including 22 Americans.
