The father of a young woman snatched by Hamas terrorists has voiced his fears for her safety.
Noa Argamani, 25, was at a music festival in the south of Israel when Hamas terrorists dragged her away on a motorcycle with her boyfriend.
Horrific footage shows the university student with her arms outstretched as she pleads with them to let her go, and screams ‘let me go’.
Her boyfriend, Avi Nathan, is held tightly by two other terrorists nearby as he watches his helpless girlfriend in horror. Both of them are now missing.
It comes as the death toll in Israel after the attacks over the weekend has now risen above 600 people.
Noa’s family only discovered she had been taken when they stumbled upon the disturbing footage online.
Today her father, Yaacov Argamani, sobbed as he voiced his fears for her safety.
He said: ‘She was so petrified, so scared.’
There appears to be more footage of her, being held in an unknown location, circulating online since the abduction.

Hundreds of revellers had gathered for the music rave near Kibbutz Re’im, close to the Gaza Strip, to celebrate the end of the Sukkot religious holiday.
The festival soon turned to chaos as Palestinian terrorists fired rockets and gunshots into the crowd of unsuspecting festival-goers.
Footage circulated on social media showed hundreds of people screaming and crying as they tried to flee.
Her university roommate, Amir Moadi, said: ‘Imagine what it is like for her family’.
‘I was supposed to go to the desert party but decided at the last minute not to,’ he told MailOnline.
‘We last heard from her around 10am or 11am this morning when she texted us all to say that terrorists had opened fire and were chasing everyone but that they were both safe in hiding.
‘We haven’t heard from them since but then, unfortunately, we saw the disturbing videos of her abduction online. One of her on the back of a bike with terrorists.
‘The family is OK with us posting this because they want her released and are hoping someone can help.
‘Her parents are in shock and can’t even speak. She’s an only child.
‘She is such a lovely, positive woman, always kind… We can’t believe something like this would happen at home.’
Israel confirmed civilians and soldiers are being held hostage in Gaza, but they have not revealed how many.
At least 600 people have now been confirmed dead in the latest attacks.
