Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations, Gilad Erdan, referred this Tuesday to the hostages captured by Hamas. He stated that there are between 100 and 150 people held captive in Gazawho were kidnapped in Israel on Saturday.
The Israeli military says it has spoken with the families of 50 of those hostages and will communicate with more as the military verifies the information.
As of this Tuesday, as he learned Clarion, many families of kidnapped people were baffled because they had not received any calls from the authorities. Later it was learned that the army is contacting them as they obtain information.
On Monday Hamas said it would kill hostages if Israel launched airstrikes without warning.
The case of the grandmother captured in a golf cart
Among the hostages there are children and adults. Israelis and foreigners. Civil and military. One of the cases that attracted attention was that of an elderly woman kidnapped and taken to Gaza by Hamas terrorists in a golf cart. Who is she?
Is about Yaffa Adar, 85 years oldwho was taken hostage at her home in Israel and transported to Gaza in a golf cart after gunmen stormed Israeli territories in a shocking raid over the weekend.

“We are shocked, every inch of our body hurts,” said his granddaughter Adva Adar. “We are very afraid for her, “She’s sick and, of course, she doesn’t have her medication with her.”.
“She is an incredible grandmother, a very positive woman, a very funny woman,” is how Adva Adar described her grandmother.
Desperate to know where she had been taken, Adar spotted her in a post on social media.
“That’s my grandmother!” she said in a Facebook post upon finding her in a post that showed her among the streets of Gaza, in the golf cart in which she had been taken.
The surprise came this Tuesday, when a video uploaded by Hamas went viral on the networks showing Yaffa sitting with a rifle in her lap.
The grotesque video, showing a weak and defenseless woman, quickly went viral. “This is tragic. In the morning, Hamas militants kidnapped this Israeli grandmother and now forced her to hold her rifle and made her make the V sign with her fingers,” says a post showing images of her .
Her granddaughter claims that her grandmother, without the medication, He won’t survive much longer.
Hamas will not negotiate
Ismail Haniyeh, head of Hamas’s political bureau, says that the group will not negotiate with Israel on the hostages he has captured until the fighting ends.
“We have informed all parties who contacted us about enemy prisoners held by the resistance that this file will not be opened before the end of the battle,” he says. “And it will only be at a price that the resistance will accept.”
Other kidnappings
Since Hamas took control of Gaza in 2007, gunmen have kidnapped a handful of Israelis, including an Israeli soldier, Gilad Shalit, whose capture deeply shocked Israel. He was freed in 2011, but only after prolonged negotiations and the release of some 1,000 Palestinians imprisoned by Israel.
The capture of a much larger number last weekend – and the fact that so many civilians were kidnapped – makes the confrontation even more more unpredictable and volatile.
