A mother and daughter from the Chicago area who were visiting family in Israel are among the Americans missing and feared kidnapped by Hamas terrorists, relatives said.
Judith Tai Raanan and Natalie Raanan were in Nahal Oz, a small village near the Gaza Strip, when Hamas invaded and destroyed multiple towns on Saturday, taking more than 150 people hostage, CNN reports.
Judith’s brother and Natalie’s father said neither has heard from the duo and fear they were abducted by the terrorists following harrowing video and images of Hamas kidnapping women during their coordinated assault.
