One was a retired economist and a poet;
Another had dreams of #travelling the world.
The third was a #Pilates instructor;
And the fourth was a drummer in a #metal band.
They were all kidnapped from their lives and t0rtured before they were killed. We must save the remaining #hostages - before it’s too late.

This is some of the harsher - yet not the harshest - footage captured by terrorists on October 7th, celebrating their success of infiltrating Israel, and going into the homes of innocent people.
In the early Saturday morning, they tortured, raped, butchered, and burned people alive, then kidnapped men, women, children and babies from #Israel into #Gaza. Imagine being there, imagine it was you.
115 people are still held hostage, living these horrors daily for over 300 days. They are running out of time.
Never forget October 7th.
Keep reminding the world that the hostages are still there.
They deserve their freedom.

262 days free -> 280 days captive
Kfir Bibas (1), the youngest Israeli hostage in #Gaza, has been a hostage for the majority of his life. International Committee of the Red Cross STILL did not visit him or any other Israeli hostage. We cannot agree to this twisted reality.
Bring back the Bibas family NOW.
16 innocent women.
9 months in captivity in #Gaza.

“I am a #Jew in the #Holocaust”
Rafaella, a survivor from the Hamas’ attack on the Nova music festival on October 7th, recollects the horrifying moments when she was running for her life.
Rafaella describes the hours she was hiding in a shelter with other festival goers, as H@mas terrorists threw grenades, Molotov bombs and gas grenades on them, and entered occasionally to shoot anyone who moved. “We had no air, it was the worst…it was 50-60 Celsius there… In all this chaos, the first thing that came to my mind was: ‘is it real? I am going to die like a Jew in a Holocaust’”.
More than 364 innocent festival goers were murdered on that day. 44 were kidnapped to #Gaza, many of them are still there.

*The bravery and loss of Hamid Abu Ar’ara*
On October 7th, his beloved wife Fatma (34), drove him and two other Bedouin farm labourers to their work. Fatma and Hamid’s son Elias (8 month old) was sitting between the two farm workers.
Suddenly, 8 H@mas motorcycles shot them with heavy fire. “After the motorcycles passed us, I tried to raise Fatma from where she had fallen. And that is when I saw she had been hit 20 times”, Hamid recalls.
“She said she could not feel her legs. Her head was open and I could see her brain. I knew she was close to death. Being a devout Muslim, I asked her to say the shahada prayer. She said it four times and before the fifth time she was dead”. The worker who had been sitting behind Fatma died shortly after too.
'We're a religious Muslim family and she wore traditional headdress of a devout woman. It is inconceivable they could not see who was inside”, he says.
“My baby was hit by shrapnel on his shoulder. I realized that we had to escape and find shelter because the area was swarming with terrorists. I spotted a big electric cabinet on the side of the road so I took my baby with me and ran to hide inside it.
After five hours, four H@mas terrorists appeared, and from all places they decided to hide at the back of the electric cabinet.
“Suddenly, I heard Hebrew from across the way. I looked through the opening of the electric cabinet and I saw IDF soldiers. I heard the H@mas terrorists arguing among themselves when to strike the approaching soldiers. I grabbed my baby, opened the electric cabinet doors, and ran toward the soldiers. I alarmed the soldiers that they were walking straight into an ambush״.
Fatma was a mother of nine kids, the oldest is only 8 years old. “Our Islam is the opposite of what the terrorists have done. I don’t know how I will cope with this tragedy”.
