Several hours after terrorists belonging to the Hamas terrorist organization entered several communities near the Gaza Strip on Saturday, the IDF admits that it is currently in control of them. Residents shut themselves in their homes, some are being held hostage and others are barricading themselves in their homes begging for help. In a chilling conversation with Channel 12 News, Ella Ben Ami, a resident of Kibbutz Be'eri, said that her father had been abducted to the Gaza Strip.

"Help me. They kidnapped my father!" she said painfully. "I have no contact with my mother! I was in touch with my father all the time on WhatsApp until the moment he was kidnapped! He actually wrote it to me and that was it."
Weeping bitterly and not knowing her soul, Ella recounted the moments of terror she and her family went through.
Ella's last conversation with her father,
"From about 9:30 in the morning, terrorists overpowered us. I live in an apartment on a kibbutz. My parents were at their house. We corresponded and my father wrote to me that terrorists had come to their house, that they were going door to door until they just got to the safe room!"
She went on to describe the difficult situation. "They took him and my mother. I haven't been able to get in touch since. I'm terrified! Save him, do something."
"I saw a picture of him on Telegram kidnapped in Gaza. I'm scared, terrified, my partner is here with me. I also have relatives who suffocate in a burned house. I don't know what will happen to them. All I know is that at about 10:30 the terrorists took over my mother
and father, and I've been in a frenzy ever since."

Ella cries out: "Who can help me? The shooting here doesn't stop! Help us!"
It is believed that in several communities near the border there are battles between terrorists and policemen. In Sderot, a police station was taken over and terrorists were eliminated. In a hostage incident in Ofakim, civilians and police officers were also injured, and terrorists are still being chased in Netivot.
