My daughter, 19, was abducted by Hamas in chilling video – they’re rapists & killers, why won’t world help get her home?

THE devastated mother of Israeli hostage Naama Levy, 19, who was paraded through Gaza beaten and bloodied has called on the world to bring her home.

Ayelet Levy Shacher has told of how every minute since her “baby girl” was taken by Hamas terrorists has felt like an “eternity in hell”.

Naama was one of over 200 civilians hauled across the border to Gaza after being snatched from her home during the terror group’s October 7 massacre..

The teenager was filmed being thrown into a black jeep by her hair with her sweatpants covered in blood.

The horrific footage was circulated around the world, becoming one of the most harrowing scenes from October 7.

“You have seen the video of my daughter Naama Levy. Everyone has,” the mother-of-four powerfully wrote in The Free Press.

“And I, her mother, am helpless in these moments of horror. “

The last Ayelet heard from her daughter was a WhatsApp message the morning of Hamas’ cross-border killing spree.

She wrote: “We’re in the safe room. I’ve never heard anything like this.”

Ayelet, who works as a doctor, said: “Before that day, every video our family had taken of Naama was joyful – dancing with friends, laughing with her three siblings, and simply enjoying life.

“But now, one video, totally unrepresentative of the life she had led until October 7, is how the world knows her.”

Hamas is still holding at least 15 young Israeli women – aged 18 to 26 – hostage after the temporary truce deal broke apart last week and the fighting resumed.

Ayelet said: “I think of what they, and my Naama, could be subjected to at every moment of the day.

“Each minute is an eternity in hell.”

This week, US State Department spokesman Mathew Miller said that Hamas is refusing to release the young women because “they don’t want these women to be able to talk about what happened to them during their time in custody.”

Naama’s shattered mother ordered the return of her daughter from the “violent rapists and murderers”.

“The female hostages are not bargaining chips to be debated by diplomats.

“They are daughters, and one of them is mine. My primal scream should be the scream of mothers everywhere.

“Bring her home now.”

She also accused international organisations such as the UN of failing to acknowledge the crimes of Hamas.

” It took two months for some to finally admit the scale and the brutality of the horror,” said the heartbroken mum.

In total, Israel says that 136 hostages remain trapped in Gaza, including 119 men and 17 women and children.

The vast majority are Israeli while 11 are foreign nationals, including eight from Thailand.

The youngest hostage is 10-month-old baby Kfir Bibas who was taken with his 4-year-old brother Ariel and their mother Shiri.

Israel is still investigating Hamas’ claims that the boys and their mother were killed in an Israeli air strike.

On Friday, Israel said it was probing another Hamas claim that student captive Sa’ar Baruch, 25, was killed in an ambush on an IDF special forces rescue operation.

Hamas‘ Al-Qassam Brigades said it attacked a special forces unit mounting a rescue attempt, killing and wounding several soldiers.

It comes as official sources revealed that US President Joe Biden will allow Israel until the end of the year to finish its operations inside Gaza and wrap up the war.

But Israel believes it needs until January to finish up its main ground operation in the narrow strip.

Israel is currently ramping up its air and ground offensive inside bomb-blitzed Gaza and has so far wiped out about half of the terror group’s mid-level commanders.

Meanwhile, new pictures have emerged which appear to show dozens of Israeli troops setting up pumps and pipes close to the sea as they look to flood Hamas’ 300-mile tunnel network.

Hamas has responded by taunting Israel with a photograph of “Gaza’s Bin Laden”, Yahya Sinwar, grinning from ear to ear while sitting on a chair in a ruined home.

Earlier this week, Israeli forces surrounded one of 61-year-old Sinwar’s homes in northwest Khan Younis where it was believed he could be hiding.

Described by IDF Lieutenant Colonel Peter Lerner in a tell-all interview with The Sun as the “mastermind of the massacre of seventh of October“, Yahya Sinwar is at the very top of Israel’s kill list.

Lt Col Lerner said: “He is the person that financed it [the October 7 attack], organised it, planned it, and gave the green light to go and kill and butcher, massacre, abduct, rape and behead Israelis.

“He’s at the top of our list. We intend on catching up with him and killing him in action.”

However, Israel’s moves to capture more of Khan Younis has left over hundreds of thousands of Palestinians packed together in horrific humanitarian conditions.

The UN estimates 1.9 million people have been displaced by the fighting so far and Israel’s new military evacuation orders are squeezing people into ever-smaller areas.

Pressure is growing for an international resolution and ceasefire – but this was vetoed by the US at the UN last night, while Britain abstained from the vote.

Many Gazans are lacking access to food, water and medicine after months of Israel’s bombardment and siege, which has made much-needed aid deliveries inside the Strip almost impossible.

Israel has acknowledged the human cost of their war – but blames Hamas for using civilians as human shields.

IDF forces have been ordering civilians to leave areas where they are operating – but this is becoming difficult in the 25 mile strip.

The Hamas-run health authorities in Gaza said the death toll has surpassed 17,100 – 70 per cent of which are women and children, with another 46,000 wounded.

The figures have not been independently verified, the US has also cast doubt on the numbers.
