A beaten Israeli teenage girl has begged for mercy after being kidnapped by Hamas terrorists and paraded around the streets of Gaza.
A video shared online shows an armed militant pulling the unnamed teenage girl out of a Jeep’s boot as onlookers yell “Allahu akbar”.
The fighter, who pumps his hand in the air, is seen dragging the girl around the car by her hair before she is crammed in the passenger seats.
She can be heard desperately saying “please”.
It comes as Israeli soldiers battle Hamas fighters in the streets of southern Israel today.
The Israeli forces launched retaliation strikes that leveled buildings in Gaza, while in northern Israel a brief exchange of strikes with Lebanon’s Hezbollah militant group raised fears of a broader conflict.
There was still some fighting underway more than 24 hours after an unprecedented surprise attack from Gaza, in which Hamas militants, backed by a volley of thousands of rockets, broke through Israel’s security barrier and rampaged through nearby communities.
They took captives back into the coastal Gaza enclave, including women, children and the elderly, who they will likely try to trade for thousands of Palestinian prisoners held by Israel. Hundreds have been killed on both sides.
