Eleven members of the same family, including three little girls, have shown no sign of life since Hamas terrorists stormed an Israeli kibbutz on Saturday.
Israeli lawyer Shaked Haran has not heard from her parents, her sister, her brother-in-law, her young nieces, her aunts and her uncles in several days, the New York Post reported Tuesday.
The family, who live in Germany, were reportedly taken hostage. Three small victims, Yahel Neri Shoham, 3 years old, Haveh Shoham, 8 years old, and Noam Avigdori, 12 years old, are part of the group.
“One person answered a call in Hebrew with a strong Arabic accent, babbling ‘Kidnapped’ and ‘Gaza,'” Rachel Gur, a friend of the lawyer who is eight months pregnant and safe with her husband, confided to the American daily on and children.

Ms Haran’s brother said he received a message from her parents on whtasApp at 7.30am last Saturday telling them they were in a safe room. “There are armed and masked terrorists everywhere. We don’t think we’ll make it out alive.”
They haven’t heard from them since.
The family lived in Kibbutz Be’eri near the Gaza Strip, one of the first places attacked on Saturday and where 100 bodies were found.
“The anger is great. Against Hamas, against the Israeli government. We feel it. But we must focus on those we can save. We will be angry after this.” She concludes.
