It will soon be two months since Hamas terrorists abducted more than 200 people from Israeli kibbutzim, barracks and festival sites to the Gaza Strip. Since then, 108 have been released as part of prisoner exchanges, most of them women and children. A female soldier had already been freed from the hands of the terrorist group. However, there are still no signs of life for many of the hostages, especially because Hamas has so far refused to allow the Red Cross to visit them. For family members in Israel who, two months after the disappearance of their friends and family, do not know if they are still alive, uncertainty – and fear – increases with each passing day.
