PLEASE, DON’T HURT MY KID… Israeli mother’s plea to Hamas terrorists who abducted her 12-year-old special needs daughter

A 12-year-old girl who has special needs is one of the hostages taken by Hamas terrorists during the worst ever terror attack on Israeli soil. In this emotional interview with BizNews, Noya’s mother Galit Dan pleads with the kidnappers not to harm her daughter. “Don't hurt her. The Quran says that if you have someone in your house, you shouldn't hurt him. You should take care of him. I'm sure there's women there, there's mothers. I'm sure you understand that she's someone's daughter. Be kind. Find your heart.” And Galit sends her daughter this message: “I'm doing everything I can to get you out of there. Noya, I'm strong and my love is strong. Everything will be okay. I'll save you…Be strong…” The terrorists also abducted Gilat’s 80-year-old mother Carmella Dan, as well as her sister’s children, Erez (12) and Sahar (16) and their father, Ofer Kalderon (50). - Chris Steyn
