A desperate mother who last watched Hamas terrorists take her 19-year-old Israeli daughter away in a viral video two months ago said every moment her daughter is held hostage “is an eternity in hell.”
“You have seen the video of my daughter Naama Levy. “Everyone has done it,” Ayelet Levy Sachar wrote in a harrowing account published Friday in The Free Press.
“She is seriously injured. She is scared. And I, her mother, am helpless in these moments of horror,” Sachar said.
Levy, one of 17 young women still held hostage by Hamas, was at Kibbutz Nahal Oz on October 7, when the group launched its unprecedented surprise attack on Israel, killing about 1,200 people and taking about 250 captive. .
Around 7 a.m., Sachar said he received one last disturbing message from his daughter: “We are in the safe room. “I had never heard anything like it.”
The teenager was filmed as Hamas was dragged out of the back of a jeep at gunpoint, barefoot, with her hands tied with bloody clothes, and pushed back into the vehicle.

The disturbing video of her daughter surfaced the next day, but the woman in the clip appeared almost unrecognizable in her bloodied and battered condition, Sachar wrote. Levy’s father called later and confirmed that she was her daughter.
The teenager dreams of a future career in diplomacy and worked as a member of the “Hands of Peace” delegation, which promotes peace among young Israelis, Palestinians and Americans, her mother said.
“But now, a video, totally unrepresentative of the life she had led until October 7, is how the world knows her,” he said.

Since her daughter was taken hostage, Sachar said “every minute is an eternity in hell” as she watches news coverage of the living conditions of Hamas captives, including accusations of rape and violence against women.
“The same monsters who committed those crimes are holding my daughter hostage,” Sachar wrote.
Dozens of Israeli hostages and prisoners were exchanged during a brief ceasefire late last month, but Levy was not one of them.
The distraught mother noted that on Monday, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Hamas refuses to release its prisoners because “they don’t want those women to be able to talk about what happened to them during their time in custody.” “
“Everyone knows exactly what he means,” Sachar wrote.
