The Alziadna family members, including Yosef, Bilal, Hamza, and Aisha, were kidnapped by Hamas terrorists on October 7 and taken to the Gaza Strip. The family, residing in the Bedouin town of Rahat, faced this ordeal when the terrorists attacked Yosef, who worked at Kibbutz Hulit, along with three of his children. Despite being Muslims and Arabic speakers, the family found themselves held hostage in Gaza, and as of the latest information, they remain in captivity.
The family learned about the kidnapping through a video showing the terrorists abducting Bilal and Hamza. After 23 days of uncertainty, the Israeli army provided another video confirming the four family members were being held by terrorists in Gaza. Yosef, a father of 18 children and grandfather, played a crucial role as the family’s main provider, working at Kibbutz Hulit for 17 years.
The situation has taken a toll on the family, with Ali, Yosef’s brother, expressing the anguish and anxiety they experienced during the period when the fate of the kidnapped family members was unknown. Yosef, who is diabetic and requires regular medication, faced challenges in obtaining the necessary drugs despite efforts by family members through the Red Cross.
