Hamas terrorists had swooped on the festival goers at Kibbutz Re’im, close to the Gaza Strip unawares arresting many and many more being killed.

In that particular footage, the 25 year old, was seen stretching her arms out in a desperate bid to stay with her boyfriend, who was forced away at gunpoint, before been carried away by the terrorists. Neither have been seen since, reports the mailonline.

“I was hoping this is a mistake that it’s not true. And then in the hospital a guy asked me if I wanted to see. I said yes and then I know for sure it is Noa… she was so petrified, so scared”, said Yaacov Argamani

He then begins to uncontrollably sob. “I was always so protective but in this moment I couldn’t protect her,’ he told Israeli broadcaster Channel 12 News.

“All my life since she was born I have tried to protect and hug her, support and love her. I wish I could at this difficult moment at least encourage her or say something to her”.

The report quotes Noa’s aunt, Yaffe Ohad, as adding: “We know that Noa was kidnapped from festival, probably in the hours of the beginning of the fighting.’

Noa’s boyfriend, Avi Nathan, distraught and helpless, is left behind in the desert. He too is missing.

The report also quotes another Israeli Gili Yoskovich describing the horrifying moment Hamas gunmen stormed the dance festival, saying they opened fire on anybody they saw as people fled for their lives.

One terrified survivor, Gili Yoskovich said she hid under a tree for three hours as Hamas militants opened fire on defenceless festivalgoers.

The mother described how young people – whose night celebrating the end of the Sukkot religious holiday had turned to terror – were dying all around her and on the road as Hamas militants went ‘tree to tree’ on a killing spree.
