The video is one of the most shared documents of October 7. It comes up again and again when it comes to Hamas’s atrocities that day: 19-year-old Naama Levy is dragged to a jeep by a terrorist while shouting ‘Allahu Akbar’.
She is covered in blood, her pants are dirty, her hands are tied behind her back and there is a deep wound on one heel. She looks around anxiously, the terrorist drags her by her hair to the car and pushes her onto the seat, it is the last sign of life for the young woman. She has been a hostage of Hamas ever since.
“Why is she there alone?”
And these are scenes that break her mother Ayelet Levy-Schachar (50). On the day of the attack, she actually wanted to visit her daughter in Kibbutz Nahal Oz. The sirens go off early in the morning. And she gets the last WhatsApp message from Naama: “We are in the security room. I’ve never heard anything like that before.” Then contact is broken.
A short time later, the video of her daughter’s kidnapping appears – and goes around the world. Naama’s family also sees it in horror. Ayelet Levy-Schachar told the Mail on Sunday that her youngest daughter also saw it. “She started crying and asked, ‘Why is she there alone?’” The video contains so many horrible details, but her sister saw that she was alone. “That was the worst thing for her.”
“I’m hopeful”
Ayelet Levy-Schachar is especially concerned about the health of her daughter, who has been in a Hamas tunnel for seventy days. ‘Does she have anything to eat? Does she have air? Are her wounds being treated?’ A glimmer of hope are the statements of released hostages who confirmed that they had seen Naama alive. “We know she has some wounds, but she is on her feet and walking, so I am hopeful.”
In an article on ‘The Free Press’, the mother writes about the fear that Hamas terrorists will rape her daughter and the other captured young women. “There are still seventeen young women in captivity. They are between 18 and 26 years old. I think about what could happen to them and my Naama at any time of the day. Every minute in hell is an eternity.”
“Maybe one of them has a heart.”
Levy-Schachar told the Mail on Sunday that despite the inhumanity the Hamas terrorists have shown, she does not feel any hatred towards them. “I don’t want to be full of hate – I just want my daughter back.”
She has to keep hope. “Maybe one of them has a heart. Maybe someone will see what a wonderful young woman she is and treat her right.”
She imagines her daughter lying in a dark tunnel and tries to be with her in her thoughts. «I stroke her hair and in my mind I help her fall asleep. I tell her, ‘Stay strong, we’re going to get you out of here.'” (neo)
