Sharone Lifschitz said that her elderly parents were taken hostage alongside at least 80 other people who lived in a kibbutz near the Gaza strip.
'We have incredibly little time, we have to talk about these hostages. We have to bring them back home'
Ms Lifschitz said her parents had been hold up in a safe room in their home as they waited 11 hours for the Israeli army or police to arrive. Ms Litschitz urged authorities to think of the hostages as she spoke of her parents' friendships with people across the Gaza border. "There are children and babies, we're just piecing together the stories and we have heard nothing from them."
