Ahuva Maizel last spoke to her daughter early on Saturday. It was a brief phone call that has led to an unbearable wait for the family, who fear the 21-year-old has been kidnapped by Hamas militants.
Ahuva Maizel last spoke to her daughter Adi at 7:40am on Saturday — a brief phone call she can't stop replaying in her mind.
In the days since, Ms Maizel and her husband Eli have heard nothing more from their daughter, who they fear is among an estimated 150 Israeli hostages taken by Hamas militants across the border into Gaza. On a mild evening on their balcony overlooking Palestinian hills, Ms Maizel sat sobbing with her head in her hands.
As dawn broke on Saturday, scenes of music and dancing turned to confusion as a barrage of rockets from Gaza overhead was shortly followed by the sound of gunfire. "People were getting shot in the head, in the shoulder, in the leg, in the arm," said Mr Cohen, who previously served in a special forces unit of the Israeli army.After making their way to a nearby creek bed, Mr Cohen and his friends hid in bushes as Hamas militants stabbed a group of women nearby, their screams piercing the air.
